THE WAGES ARGUMENT
A DENIAL BY THE PRIME
MINISTER.
(BI TELEGRAPH. —PKEES ASSOCIATION.)
NEW PLYMOUTH, 26th Oct. The Prime Minister issued the following statement to-night: "I observe, notwithstanding official denials already publicly made, that statements are still being made during the present election campaign by candidates representing the Labour Party -that the Government intend to reduce the wages of workers by 7s 6d a week.; I have already explicitly stated that there is no such intention and I deem it my duty in justice to the Government to say again that the satement is an absolute fabrication, and entirely without foundation. The repetition of this falsehood shows a poor conception of fair tactics on the part of those persisting in its circulation. It is indicative of falsehood that the official denia-ls have not been met by any attempt at proof, but by mere repetition."
