SOUTH ISLAND POWER
Reference By Mr
Nash
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, May 6.
He would prefer to see South Island power used for new industries in the South Island itself, the Prime Minister (Mr Nash) told the annual conference of the New Zealand Labour Party, when referring to the proposed Cook Strait power cable, says a supplied report. “The case of the South Island can be likened to that of Scotland,” he said. “In Scotland, a country that was at one time economically dying, local power has been used to develop new industries that have brought new life to the country. I would like to see the sam? thing happen in our own South Island.”
