SQUEEZING THE ORANGE
LABOUR AND THE GOVERNMENT
Various aspects of the present-day political situation in New Zealand were dealt with by tho Hon. W. Downie Stewart at a general rally of Reform supporters in Christchurcb on Wednesday evening. Mr. Stewart devoted much time to a criticism of the Socialistic Labour movement, incidentally paying attention to a notice announcing an address in Christchurch by the Leader of the Labour Party (Mr. H. E. Holland) who was described in tho advertisement as "the man to do away with unemployment." Referring to the financial stringency in Australia, Mr. Stewart said that his financial policy when a member of tho Reform Government's Cabinet, had been designed to prevent such a state of affairs occurring in the Dominion.
Asked, at the conclusion of his address, whether ho thought an election probable this year, Mr. Stewart said that it depended upon, the action of the Labour Party, but it appeared that "so long as that party had an orange to squeeze, it would squeeze it dry before bringing about another General- Election."
