CANDIDATE
Mr. G. W.'Dodds writes:—"l should like, through your columns, to be allowed the privilege of explaining to the electors of Wellington Suburbs and others interested my reasons for standing as an Independent Douglas candidate.. They are that in the first place I wish to be. completely dissociated( from the policy of the society known .as the 'Douglas Social Credit; Movement of New Zealand, Inc.,' and in the second place that this society; is not a political body and is not empowered either to support or to oppose candidates. It is supposed to be purely an educational body,^allegedly teaching the Douglas proposals and advocating the Douglas objective. I resigned from this society - more: than- eight months ago, on account of the influence of the Auckland Farmers' Union in imposing upon it a policy and objective indistinguishable from that of the Country Party, and which is simply another proposal for class legislation in favour of the farmer with no real consideration for the. needs of the city population. It is time the city people put up real resistance to the aim of turning New Zealand into one big farm." , / .
