POLITICAL PLATFORM Of One Who is Not a Candidate. THESE few .points are presented in the the? may a>'ou S e usefu. Sion on the subjects covered, both bclorc and after the election: — 1. Maximum War Effort. 2. Restoration of Democracy. Government Departments should be servants of the people, not rlll< -’ rs °L ‘‘4 people. It is time Parliament reussumed fully its function of being the ruling authority. Abolish Bureaucracy which can endanger civil liberty, and strangle enterprise. 3. Restoration of Justice. The Law seems to be getting so tangled up in technicalities tnose days that, if jou keen your eyes open, you 11 otteu come across decisions based on the bAaui LETTER OF THE LAW, perhaps even inflicting injustice. Restore to magistrates and judges the full power-to make decisions in the full spirit of JLSIILE. 4. Restoration of Pride of Race. Clever subtle underground propaganda has induced in a large section of pepple of this Dominion a DISTRUST of Britain and anything British. Britain and tuo Empire may not be perfect, but they have more to be proud of than any other nation. It is time this belittling of the Empire was openly challenged. 5. Restoration of Value. Working man aud employer alike are deeply concerned with the maintenance ot the PURCHASING POWER of money. Only, sound finance can guarantee tins security. At present, witli tax deductions from wages, and with goods loaded with an average of about 10 per cent, sales tax, the effective value of the workers Bl is about 15/6 in N.Z. currency, or U/O ? “ British currency. (No wonder our statistics always look so rosy compared with those of overseas countries.) 6. Restoration of Ownership. Extravagant public building (pre-war), plus State house-building has left little for private house-building (and the former has done much towards doubling the costs). Everybody should be encouraged to OWN their homes. If the present trend-continues, it may soon be said : An Englishman’s home is his castle; a New Zealander’s home is bls Government s. 7. .Restoration of Trade. A development that may have far-reach-ing effects is the growing tendency tot the Government to do bulk importing. Importing firms have had years of experience of knowing what the public wants in different localities, and which are the best, sources of supply. A bureaucratic Government department can only build up mis knowledge' by trial and error—and the taxpayer pays for the errors. With pm“« enterprise, the individual importer sttinus the loss if his buying is at fault. 8. Restoration of Self-discipline. Is this race of ours becoming careless and self-indulgent? Consider the man who is careless witli the standard of his work, the man who over-indulges in lltiuor or who gambles with more than be can afford, the married man who “plays,” the chainsmoker, those who are careless in common courtesy, those careless with their health. Wowserism will not be tolerated—but there is scope fora well-planned campaign for reasonable self-discipline based on self respect.
