The most dangerous man in New Zealand politics, we are sorry to say, is the Hon. W. E. Parry. He is dangerous because he is consumed with a passion for large-scale gambling in New Zealand (says the ‘New Zealand; Baptist ’). He wants a New Zealand '.“ Tatts.,” and won’t be happy till he gets it. The considered-opinion of the Royal Commission on the dangerous consequences of such a proposal are nothing to the Hon. W. E. Parry. The recent findings of the South Australian Commission are nothing to the Hon. W. E. Parry. He. proposes to curse the Dominion with a large-scale lottfery under Government license. When everybody is walking along with his waistcoat pocket bulging with bits of stamped paper, when the one lucky dog out of 106,000 luckless speculators is crowned with laurel and staggers off tho stage with, a gold nugget secured by him at other people’s expense, then Mr Parry’s cup will be full. He promises, when , he has infected the nation with the lottery mania, to be Father Christmas, and hand out cheques to racing clubs, sports clubs, swimming clubs, and to make everyone happy and healthy. This outburst of his should be taken note of. We regard it i as thoroughly vicious. He does not. What relation is there between decent sport and gambling? Ask the Rugby Union! Ask Lovelock! What relation is there between openair health and the turning of a roulette wheel? What connection is there between mental alertness and comradeship and that paradise of fools, that beggar-my-neighbour, the lottery? When Machiavelli was asked by a tyrant how he could keep his restless people quiet, the reply was, “ Teach them to gamble.” Gambling is dope. Gambling is opium. The lottery craze contradicts the basic economic principle of the Labour Party. Is Mr Parry mad? Is it possible that there is a sinister Machiavellian purpose in his darling project ?
