A BORROWED SLOGAN.
The 1925 General Election slogan of the Reform Party—"More business in government, and lpss government in business'' —was chosen by Mr. W. A. Veitch (Wanganui) in the House of Representatives last night as a medium through which to find fault with the Government. "I was reading a book on industrial economics the other day," said Mr.
Veitch," and I found that this slogan, which was launched on the New Zealand public as something new is recorded in this particular book in this way.'* He proceeded to read, an extract referring to the use of the words in support of the Warren Harding Presidential campaign in U.S.A. .' Mr. P. Fraser (Wellington Central): '' The most corrupt administration America ever had." , Mr. Veitch: ."They did to some extent at least adhere to the principles they laid down, but I submit that in the case of the present New Zealand Government their actions indicate quite clearly that they have not in their own minds a clear conception of what that slogan really means."
