MAYOR OF DUNEDIN AND BANKS
Reference To Managers’ Reply By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, May 9. Following his statement about the banks threatening to deny accommodation to members of the Labour Party and the managers’ absolute denial, the Rev. E. T. Cox, who is again contesting the mayoralty, said: “While I accept the statement of the managers as far as the majority is concerned, it does not do away witii the fact that customers have reported to me this week along the lines that I outlined. I am having affidavits signed to send to the Prime Alinister. To deal with the banks is the business of the Government. I merely point out the abuse. “The banks’ attitude is not new. During the last general election they paid for splash advertisements in metropolitan newspapers, urging people to keep Labour out. Thus they used shareholders’ money for illegitimate purposes. Unless they mend their ways the days of private banks in this Dominion are numbered.”
