[PEB PEES 3 ASSOCIATION.] Weilimgton This Day. Speaking at a banquet to Hogg, the Premier raid if private enterprise failed to rise to the occasion, the State would go in for manufacturing iron and steel, and keep a hundred thousand a year in the country. He had made up his mind that not another wagon or locomotive would be brought from abroad. About £150,000 invested in machinery and extension of buildings would meet all that was required. There were times when combines were essential to the interests of the producer and it . was wrong to make them illegal.
They should be brought under control. There must be only one monopoly that of the Liberal Party and the present Government.
Alluding to rumours of the reconstruction of the Cabinet, ho said there had been some talk by those who had nothing to do with it. He was pleased to see the flattering references to Hogg and Miliar, (the two have been spoken of as likely Ministers), and looked forward to the day when they would be rewarded by promotion to the Cabinet, but they wanted no advice from the opposition press.
