Freeze protest criticised
PA Wellington Trade unionists who were determined to ' wreck the wage-price freeze would “prolong not only their own agonv but the country’s agony.” the Acting Prime Minister, Mr Maclntyre, told Parliament last evening. ' Speaking during the Budget debate. Mr Maclntyre said that the price freeze was necessary to control in-
Ration. • % The tax cuts in the Budget would give financial relief to "many people," he said. Obviously some would be hurt by having to pay more tax. But the bulk of New Zealanders would be given the feeling that once again it was worth while doing'more "and that is an important thing." he said. There were “some prob-
lems and disadvantages" in going into closer economic relations with Australia, he said. But C.E.R. “is something which is going to mean much to New Zealand in the future.” Problems such as the Clutha dam issue and the Marsden Point industrial troubles were growing pains to be expected in a developing country, he said.
