"A\ re recognise on .this side of the House,'' remarked Mr. D. Jones (Ellesmere) in the House of Representatives last night, '' that the Labour Party had a. very great victory at the last election, but it is just as well to ask ourselves who aro the Labour Party. I think we havo about 680,000 voters in New Zealand, probably about 5 per cent, of whom arc the idle rich, 5 per cent, the idle poor, and all the rest workers. The Labour Party secured 170,000 votes, so wo aro the Labour Party. The present Government represents Labour in Now Zealand more than any other party in the House, and the evidence of it is seen during this debate."-
