DATE OF GENERAL ELECTION
PREDICTION BY LABOUR PARTY PRESIDENT
“We have an idea that, just as Mi Holland regarded it as expedient to hold an election in 1951, he may regard it as expedient to have an election before 1954,” said the president of the New Zealand Labour Party (Mr A. H. Nordmeyer, M.P.), in a lunchtime address at Woolston yesterday. Mr Nordmeyer made this statement in reply to a question which, he said, might have occurred to some of his audience: why was he speaking at the meeting, when the next General Election was not to be held till next year? The Laooui Party was anxious that the workers should be alive to the possibility of an early election, and should be prepared to get their electoral organisations functioning, he said. “If Mr Holland decided to have an early election, so much the better, as far as we are concerned,” Mr Nordmeyer said.
