INDUSTRIAL POLICY
MISS HOWARD’S REMARK CRITICISED
“I charge the Minister of Health (Miss M. B. Howard) with threatening the democratic rights of the citizens of this country,” said Mr O. G. Moody, National Party candidate for Sydenham, speaking at St. Nicholas’s Hall last evening. Mr Moody was referring to a statement reported to have been made by Miss Howard at a meeting in Wellington. The words. “1913 won’t be a patch on it” were the words said to have been used by the Minister to describe the disturbances that would follow the implementation of the Nation Party’s policy on industrial disputes. Mr Moody asked whether this could be taken to mean that if the people of New Zealand gave a decision against the Government on November 30, it would not accept it and would collaborate with Communist elements to cause industrial unrest. The suggestion was State dictatorship at its worst.
