CHANGED METHODS
LABOUR PARTY ANXIOUS TO LIVE DOWN PAST. While lecturing at the. Princess Theatre last night, Mr. .N. Jeffreys, organiser for the Communist Party, explained that he had attended the annual conference of the New Zealand Labour Party at Wanganui, for the purpose of asking the Labour Party to allow the Communist Party to become affiliated. “I was turned down with a thud,” he said. “The Labour Party would have nothing to do with revolutionary methods or direct action. It was clear that the members of the New Zealand Labour Party are endeavouring to live down their past. Hus is the first time that the New Zealand Labour Party has ever definitely denounced revolutionary methods or direct action. The members of the Labour Partv were even accorded a civic reception at Wanganui. When you find Labour members attending civic receptions it makes you wonder if the cause of Labour is in good hands in New Zealand.” ■
