DOUGLAS CREDIT.

OPPOSED TO LABOUR POLICY. Tn view of flip Km placed by the Labour party on those belonging to the Communist party or its affiliated I organisations. a remit to he moved at jtlie twenty-second annual conference of j tlie Labour party, to be held in April, is of particular interest. I The Hamilton Labour Representation I Commit tee ami the Canterbury Driver.-? and Related Trades will move, "That I the Dnu-rlas Social Credit movement be 'declared a political organisation. and. further, that Its policy an<l activities are antagonistic to the'policy, platform and principles of the Labour party," _ There should be considerable discussion on the remit, as some Labour partv nominees are supporters of Douglas Credit principles. The Brooklyn branch will move that sub-section 8 of section 7 of the constitution be amended to more efficiently prevent any person with anti-Labour views aeting as a delegate to an L.R.C. or annual conference. Supported by seven organisations, a remit will be moved in an attempt to upset the ruling imposed by the Minister of Public Works, the Hon. R. Semple. that Communists should not be allowed the use of halls in Public Works camps for furthering their popaganda. The remit reads: "That in the interests of free speech, the amending regulation governing t«ie use of halls in camps be revised." A remit critical of Labour Cabinet .Ministers comes from Devonport and asks "that prominent leaders of the Labour movement refrain from attacking trades unionists before they have obtained the fullest possible particulars of the workers' c*se."
