ELECTION NOTICES. JOHN A. LEE REPLIES WHY SOLDIER? WHY NOT? “Why Democratic Soldier ; Labour?” an opponent asked the other night. “To distinguish between cx-C.0.,” iwWllffr 'WM Mr. Lee, D.C.M., replied. ||i|||lp ' *0 ■ “But you do not represent all sol- ||S diers,” said the questioner. 1® > ® ■ 1 - T' " “Only the intelligent ones,” said ufl&wt jIU, John Lee. “But the Nationalist Party g t&LolSj di not represent the Nation. Twice a poll of the people have said they do not. But we do not mind what they ||||||H call themselves. And the Labour *».’-* SHC■ : Party docs not represent the worker. *7' ' *s. ■ a’J It represents John Roberts at £1250 a year; not the Postman who gets alSijk MfflmjMj £4/8/- clear of taxation.” JOHN A. LEE, D.C.M., M.P. 40-HOUR WEEK? “Will you abolish the 40-hour week?” “No. There can be no new society without a reduction of hours after the war.” “But is not the 40-hour week interfering with the war effort?” “Wherever it is necessary to maintain the war effort, I am in favour of extension of hours. By arrangement hours have been extended where necessary. If we are short of goods, extending the hours of labour for shop workers will not solve any problem, will it?” WHO SPLIT THE VOTE? “Mr. Lee, will not your Party split the vote and let the Holland candidates In?” “The Labour Party have already let the Holland Party in. Mr. Fraser invited Mr. Holland, Mr. Coates and Mr. Hamilton, and for a time Messrs. Bodkin, Broadfoot and Polson. Just now we have Mr. Perry. All these are opponents of Labour. Mr. Fraser aud Mr. Holland joined to prolong Parliament for the duration of the war and a year. Labour and the Nationalists voted to reduce all wages by 5 per cent., to impose the 5 per cent, sales tax, to stabilize the wages of the lowest paid worker. Together they imposed conscription for the Middle East, thereby creating the man-power situation.” “How would you vote on a ‘no confidence’ motion?” “I would vote for niy principles. If someone moved to increase pensions or wages, or the guaranteed price, or to establish Motherhood Endowment, I would vote for the increase in pensions or in wages or in the guaranteed price, whatever Mr. Fraser or Mr. Holland called the motion. I light tor New Zealand! VOTE JOHN A. LEE AND DEMOCRATIC SOLDIER LABOUR!
