"POISONED CHOCOLATES"
During his campaign Mr. O. C. Mazengarb, the National candidate for Wellington East, has fired many guns at the Labour Party's plan of guaranteed prices and at the danger involved, as he has put it, of paper-money inflation. Last night at the Hataitai School, where he was listened to by an enthusiastic audience of about 300 people, he had every gun in action and for a considerable time, speaking with great vigour, he kept up a steady bombardment.
. The Labour Party, he declared, was offering the electors poisoned chocolates, which, he hoped, they would have sense enough not to accept. "The enemy, inflation, is at our gates," Mr. Mazengarb counselled. Gird your armour and stand firm, everyone, and be prepared to resist and strike a blow for stable currency and not inflation." (Applause.)
