LEAD FOR POLITICIANS
(Uy Telegraph— I'rest. Association.)
DUNEDIN, May 6.
One of the great needs in politics today was emphasised by the Leader of the Opposition (the Hon. Adam Hamilton) at' a meeting he addressed at Dunedin tonight.
• Politicians, he said, were entitled to a lead from the business community in problems like the monetary question. Did the banks create credit or did they not? Business people could not reach unanimity on the subject, but expected the politician to find a solution. And what the politician did was always wrong, so where were they? Then, again, politicians were not unreasonable in asking business people to give them a definite lead in the matter of the admission into New Zealand of overseas chain firms such as Boots the Chemists (N.Z.), Ltd., a British firm anxious to do business in New Zealand but liable to cause the sudden eclipse of small chemists. > Why leave such things to' politicians to worry about?
