THE LIBERAL PARTY TO THE EDITOR.

Sir.-— Thp position of ihe Liberal Party in seeking ior Labour votes at the nest election is the most- dishonest imaginable*. I think, therefore, that tl'o Labour and Radical sections of the community arc right in distrusting the Liberals. Their party simply wanks to get into office on another loan drunk, without giving any promise to those Labour electors whoso' support they are seeking that a single item of a Labour policy will be passed into law. These have always been <&c Liberal tactica in thi& country What assurance have we that, the big estates will be taxed? What assurance have wo that the cost of living will be reduced! Has Sir Joseph Ward recanted his pobcy of February, 1912, aa outlined in the Governor's Speech witb regard to land i^x exemption? I def? ativ Liberal in Wellington to *nswcfr these iirip.stioog. If he dares to say thai ho ftnswers with authority I tell him in advance that. I do not believe him The , Labour Party should rpinembe' 1 ' that its only justification is tho belief, founded oh experience of Liberal deception and time-serving, that a separate party :a needed, a party which cannot be dominated by vested interests^ The ups and dovttis of Liberalism and Toryism are not important. Our work is tho foundation, of a new party with a new spirit, and we must prevent any Liberal intriguers from divertihg our energies fax>m tliis great work. — I am, etc, TRUTH.
