THE LABOUR PARTY
MR. JORDAN FRIENDLY WITH UNITEDS Dominion Special Service. Auckland, March 1. The reported cave in the Labour Party was further discussed by Mr. W. J. Jordan, M.P. for Manukau, in an address at Ellerslie, in which he expressed friendly sentiments toward the United Party. Mr. Jordan said he knew of nothing tending toward a split in the Labour Party, but it was his intention to help the Government to carry out its promised programme. The United Party had set out with a sincere desire to improve the conditions of the people of the Dominion, and so long as its efforts in this direction were continued it would receive his support.
“If there were to be a change In the leadership or chairmanship of the Labour Party,” he continued, “that does not mean the breaking up of the party: no more so than in the British Labour Party, when Mr. Arthur Henderson was superseded in the leadership by Mr. Ramsay .MacDonald.
