Situation Could Not Be Tolerated, Says Mr. Fraser
(P.A.)
WHANGAREI. April 5.
When certain sections of workers inspired by Communist agitators went on strike against the conciliation and arbitration system which both they and the Government had sworn to uphold, the situation could not be tolerated and the Government would take definite action to protect such a basic right.
This statement was made by the Prime Minister, Mr. P. Fraser, in an impromptu address at Kaikohe on Saturday before Labour Party delegates and sympathisers after the conclusion of the annual meeting of the Hobson Labour Representation Committee.
Communists clearly owed no loyalty to this fine country, but were in reality citizens of another nation with the objfective of seizing power and establishing a Soviet State, said Mr. Fraser. They would haul down the British ensign and run up the Soviet flag.
Against such tactics the Government would fight with all its power to the last ditch.
