‘IRRATIONAL REMARKS’
Labour Reply To Mr Holt (N Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, Sept. 11. The new president of the National Party, Mr E. D. Holt, was adopting the policy handed down to him of “oppose, oppose, oppose,” the president of the Labour Party (Mr N. V. Douglas) said yesterday. National Party members had, as a first duty, to use every possible play of words to show their opponents as “fools, political hypocrites, opportunists and traitors,” Mr Douglas said. “To call the Labour Party a puppet is a distortion. “One would have expected the new president of the National Party to have acted, publicly anyway, in a rational and objective manner.
“It is utter nonsense and mischievous of Mr Holt to say the Labour Party is under the control of unions,” Mr Douglas said.
