"A BETTER HOLE"
ADVICE TO JNTERJECTORS
"There'are-hundreds of people starving in Now Zealand," said an interjector at Mr. B. A. Wright's meeting at Mornington last night. "What is the Government going to do about it?" Mr. Wright said there- was only a limited amount of money available. The British Government had found that it could not go on borrowing to pay the dole. That was the way to bankruptcy. ' . A voice: "Are we going to be allowed to starve?" Another voice: "There is no hope for us here."
Mr. Wright: "Weil, if you are not satisfied with New Zealand, you can go elsewhere. If you know of a better hole go to it." A voice: "Why should we have to leave ourcountry?" Another voice: "We'll slay here and exercise our rights as New SSealandcrs." Mr. Wright said if they went on borrowing money to.keep the people in unproductive work the whole i-ountry would be pulled down.
