"MAKING GOATS OF YOU"

"If you were returned to power would you create unemployment?" asked a member of the audience at the .meeting addressed by Mr. J. W. Andrews, Nationalist candidate for the Hutt seat, last evening.

"No," answered the candidate. "Then why would you sack 'Uncle Scrim'? asked the questioner.

"'Uncle Scrim' isn't employed; he is merely making goats of you," said Mr. Andrews, amid applause and dissent.

DOCTORS NEEDED

A suggestion that there is a shortage of medical men in New Zealand, and that a number of doctors should be brought here to fill the gaps, was made by Mr. R. McKeen, Labour candidate for Wellington South, while addressing an audience at Newtown last evening. The iriedical men- had refused to co-operate with the Government in the opera'tion of the social security scheme. "I believe they will come in," the speaker added. "We want them in. The doctors in England refused to co-operate in the national health scheme until Mr. Lloyd George told them the Government would carry out the scheme without them. Then they agreed to co-operate. I will not say that we will do without the doctors here—l' do not think it will be necessary—but I do say that there are places in New Zealand which are inadequately served i for medical purposes. • There is a shortage of doctors. in this Dominion, and my suggestion is that we invite medical men from overseas to come here and fill in the gaps in the system."
