MR HOLLAND’S MESSAGE TO THE ELECTORS
CHRISTCHURCH, This . Day (P.A.). —“The decision is now in the hands of the electors,” the Leader of the National Party, Mr Holland, said in a pre-election message today. After urging on the electors the importance of voting, Mr Holland continued: “As I see it, the main issue in the election is the danger to the people’s living standards and to the general economic structure of the country, if Labour is allowed to continue with its policy of socialisation and interference. Experience* has proved that, as a general rule, State, interference and management in activities which have been efficiently carried on by private enterprise merely results in higher costs and a reduced supply of goods. “I am satisfied that under our policy we can bring about a real advance in-the standard of living and I do not . think the fear campaign of the Labour Party has impressed many people, “I am grateful to the many thousands of people at all the centres I have visited whose interest and enthusiasm helped to make my tour of the Dominion such ah inspiring and heartening experience. To our candidates, too, I send my thanks and good wishes. “This has been a vital election campaign and they have all performed their parts worthily. It now remains for the people of New Zealand to deliver their verdict.”
