"STANDS SUPREME."
The record of the Reform Party in loaning money to settlers and workers stands supreme, claimed Mr. G. E. Sykes at Masterton tho other flight. They had loaned £50,000,000 to the settlers and Workers during the past fifteen years. In all the States of Australia there had been only £78,000,000 loaned to the farmers and workers, while. New Zealand had loaned £50,000,000. A voice: "Perhaps they did not apply for it." Mr. Sykes: "Oh, yes, they did. They asked for bread and got a stone." A voice!: "And here they get nothing." Mr. Sykes said that in view of the figures he had quoted, comment on that statement was needless.
