N.Z. PENSIONS BILL.
"A Most Notable Social Measure." PRAISE FROM LONDON. i (Received I.CO p.m.) LONDON", September 2. The "Guardian." in a leader, describes the Xew Zealand Pensions Bill as one of the most notable social measures introduced by the Dominion*s first Labour Government. It reviews tlie programme, which it declares, would astonish and might alarm any country not having a vigorous record "for social progress, "but New Zealand had led the way in legislation of this kind long before a Socialist Government was in power there or in any part of the British Commonwealth. The present Government benefited by a buoyant Budget on which it might pursue its progressive ideals. If it is not tempted in its zeal to carry the Dominion beyond its means it will be remembered for carrying on a remarkable tradition."
