RIGHT TO SPEAK
EFFICIENCY BILL
CRITICISM
LORD ELIBANK SUPPORTED
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
INVERCARGILL, October. 18.
Reference to the criticism by. the Minister of Industries and Commerce (the Hon. D. G. Sullivan) of Lord Elibank's speech at Dunedin on the Industrial. Efficiency Bill, was made yesterday by Mr. J. Arthur Aiton, of Derby, leader of .the party of Empire Chambers: 1.01. Commerce delegates which is visiting. Southland. "I thought Lord Elibank's speech was a very abie one, and I consider that he was- perfectly justified in making it," said Mr. Aiton. • "Before we came out here we decided to say wha 4; we thought. We would be. wasting our time if we'did not. We did not come to the Congress to say only pleasing platitudes. If, by saying straight from the shoulder what we thought, we have offended someone, we are very sorry, biit we did not come here to please people exalted or otherwise. Lord Elibank made an excellent speech and I -.think he had every right to say what he thought.
