CONFIDENCE IN MR NASH

Resolution ByLabour Party

(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, May 6. “This conference of 400 delegates extends to the Prime Minister, and to his Parliamentary colleagues, our sincere thanks for their splendid and exacting services over the last year,” said a resolution adooted by the Labour Party conference today, after Mr Nash had presented the Parliamentary report.

“With a full knowledge of the economic difficulties inherited by the Labour Administration from its predecessor, and of the stern austerity measures necessary to restore eauilibrium to our sagging economv, we pledge ourselves to return to our homes with a renewed determination to ensure that our supporters throughout New Zealand are anpraised of the real facts of the present situation. “That, in contrast to experience in many overseas countries. New Zealand has been able to weather the present world-wide recession without reauiring our working people to shoulder a disproportionate share of the burden of readjustment, is due entirely to the clarity of thought, powers of decision, courage, and teamwork of the Prime Minister and his Parliamentary colleagues. “The people of this Dominion, and particularly ourselves, as representatives of thousands of New Zealanders in branches of our great movement, and in affiliated organisations, owe them our continued loyalty and support during the coming year.”
