Sir Joseph Ward 1925— —— “ Mad Growth of Our National Expenditure.” “ 1 pause here to ask. you not os a party man. but as a New Zealander and a lover of the country in which my life has been spent, how long can we keep up this mad growth of our national expenditure? ” He realised that borrowing could not cease, but, considering the heavy war obligations, it was a grave question whether the furious pace we were now going at could be, continued. At present we were galloping along spending loan money at an appalling rate. Sir Joseph Ward 1926 . " probably the most profligate country on the Globe.” ** / , . It is quite serious enough that the country owes £238,000,000 at the present moment. If the State Advances Department lends another £10,000,000 next year, surely every member recognises that that, added ; to the borrowings of the Govcrnnient, and all our other loans, too. would make us in the eyes of the world probably the most profligate spendthrift country on the globe. . . .” Will HIS Unstable Opinion make for Stable Government* ELECTORS ! Vote Solidly Reform Sir Joseph Ward 1927 -and do the right thing for your country and yourself / u Never known so much Borrowing in the History of the Country.” M And what I call your attention to new is that Pve navM known in the History of this country the prodigality in connection with borrowing in such a short space of time; and if there is any hon. member who eai. look with equanimity at what is going on in this country in that connection, then all I can say is that he takes up an entirely different attitude from myself, after thinking the matter out. What 1 called attention to in the North was that in two years we had borrowed £18,000,000, and on that amount £900,000 additional interest is payable a year. , \ . levant to reaffirm, without any feeling against the Minister or any other members of the Government, that somebody has got to alter the system of finance in this country, because we cannot possibly afford to go on in the present profligate fashion. ... 1 do not think that any other country in the world, outside the war period, would dare to go on as we are going on in proportion to our population of one and a-Kalf miUion.‘' Sir Joseph Ward 1928 ' I Mow Proposes to Borrow £70,000,000 1 “ This country requires, end 1 am favourable to obtaining up to £70,000,000.
