"WAS PRECIPITATE."
MR. LEE'S RECENT WRITING.
COMMENT BY MR. CARR.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
TIMARU, Friday,
Interviewed to-day, Mr. Clyde Carr, M.P. for Timaru, a prominent member of the so-called Left Wing of the Parliamentary Labour party, said it was general knowledge that relations between Mr. Lee and Mr. Nash had been somewhat strained. Mr. Lee's position as Under-Secretary to the Minister had been purely nominal since the Hon. H. T. Armstrong had assumed the portfolio of State Advances and Housing.
Apparently Mr. Lee'a recent orticl* had brought matters to a head. In Mr. Carr's opinion, the article was well written, but precipitate. It was always dangerous, he considered, to indulge in over-generalisation. Mr. Carr said that Mr. Lee himself and others connected with them agreed that the Labour Government, including Mr. Nash, had done a great deal to implement the Labour party's pledges, but in certain respects they were not satisfied, particularly regarding financial matters and banking legislation and administration generally. These to a large extent represented different attitudes of mind inevitable in any intelligent group.
