SUSPENDING RULES

PERIOD OF CONFLICT industrial system BAN ON PROFITEERING (Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, this day. The Government's view on industrial and commercial compulsion for war purposes was expressed by the Hon. W. Nash, the Minister of Finance, ir. the House of Representatives lasi night. He had stated that whatever rules, laws arid regulations stood in the way would go out for the period of the war, but if the working section of the community was willing to sacrifice all they had won it was agreed that nobody outside that section should profit by their sacrifice. “If the worker sacrifices his conditions they should sacrifice their profits,” said the Minister. "No one in the Dominion should receive more from the community than was necessary to their ordinary maintenance and sufficient to meet obligations and commitments.” “How will you do it," asked Opposition members. “We Will Try" “We will try,” replied the Minister, who declared that a man who served in the war should not be worse off than those who stayed behind, which meant that nobody would profit, not super or extra profit, but that he should not profit because of the war. “That,” lie concluded, will take a lot of wbrking out; but we will have taxation measures that will ensure that it will be carried out.” Mr. C. A. Wilkinson (Ind., Egmont): Won’t we have legislation on these things? Mr. Nrish; We have it herfe, but regulations will be presented to Parliament. He assured the Ht. Hon. G. W. Forbes (Nat. Hurunui) that alterations in takdtion would ctnfie in the ordinary rrieasui-es.
