ISSUE OF LEAFLETS
LABOUR MEMBER'S COMMENT
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
TIMARU, September 22.
Addressing an election meeting tonight, the Rev. Clyde Carr, M.P., Labour candidate for Timaru, produced a leaflet which he asserted was to be issued by the National Party to members of friendly societies on the eve of the election when there would be no opportunity to counter the alleged misrepresentations it contained, and devoted most of his address to reading a Labour Party pamphlet explaining the social security scheme. A statement was made later tonight by the president of the Timaru branch of the National Party that there was no secrecy about the leaflets, 800 having been posted this morning to friendly society members. The balance would be posted tomorrow. Mr. Carr also said during his address that at a meeting ha Timaru of shareholders of the Whakatane Paper Mills Company a statement was made that if Labour was returned it would not be long before they took over all industries without compensation. This the speaker denied, stating that no Government had been fairer to industry in the way of compensation than the Labour Government.
