SOUTH ISLAND’S PROGRESS
1 MR S. G. HOLLAND’S VIEWS
“I believe we will have a Government in the future which will see that the South Island gets the justice that it has not had in the past,” said Mr S. G. Holland, leader of the National Party, amid applause, during ah election speech in St. Matthew’s Church schoolroom last evening. Mr Holland had expressed his regret that Mrs Roosevelt had not come to Christchurch, and said that she should have come to the city. ‘‘We deserve to have these people here in the South Island,” said Mr Holland. “It is time we exerted ourselves, for the South Island has been slowly slipping back and back all the time.” Mr Holland added that there was justification for the expenditure in the South Island of a whole lot of money which was not spent here at present. The people would get more here if they were only a little more united. They should all pull together.
