A QUESTION OF PRINCIPLE
An indictment of Mr. H. E. Holland's policy, as shown in the column* of the Maoriland Worker, was made in detail by Mr. T. A. H. Field in the House of Representatives last night Mr. Field referred to the fact that though the Worker opposed the war and ''manufactured shirkers," it published big war loan advertisements. A member : These must ( have been put in free. (Laughter.) . Another member: But that's business. Mr. Field said that when asked how the publication of the advertisements suared with its policy, the Worker replied that if it had not printed the war loan matter it would have been liable to 'prosecution under the War Regulations. • Members appeared to regard this as a good joke. "I have tried to find that War Regulation," said Mr. Field. "I have asked the Law Draftsman and eveiyone who should know, and they can tell me nothi ing of it."
