HON K. S. WILLIAMS’ CAMPAIGN

KEEN INTEREST AT MOTUHORA

A. fairly largo gathering of electors of the Motuhora district displayed keen interest m the Hon. K S Williams’ address on Wednesday night in furtherance of his campaign as Reform candidate for the Bay. of Plenty seat, Mr T. Quirk id r 6 sided. The Minister devoted himself mainly to Labor’s proposal for a State bank and the efforts made by the Government to reduce unemployment, The State bank he described .as a scheme with some attractive aspects, judged superficially, but one which revealed startling weaknesses under close examination. He again quoted the experience of Australian farmers, who had failed to benefit by the establishment ot the Commonwealth Bank. Money was just as cheap in New Zealand as in Australia, and the credit of the Dominion compared favorably with that of any other country in the world. British financial organs were unanimous in their praise of New Zealand’s current fiscal system, and the Minister deplored any experiments which, before their 1 initiation, could be shown without hope of success. On the topic of unemployment, the Minister quoted statistics from various British. Dominions, and also from Great Britain itself and the United: States of America, which proved that New Zealand had the lowest percentage of unemployed of all. The Government’s policy for the relief of unemployment he described as sound, and he asked his audience to remember that the measures taken were simply relief measures, and were not directed towards the absorption of the whole population into the service of the State.. If standard ratek of wages were paid for relief works, it would . mean that ordinary trades would lose their attractios. for'young men, .and tlie result must be the production of _a vast number of unskilled men. To remove the incentive towards individual improvement would 1 . he disastrous. and this view dictated the Government's attitude towards the granting of relief. ’' ’ At the conclusion of the address, Mr Williams answered satisfactorily several questions relating to the platform of his party. Later he was accorded a vote of thanks and confidence. . , ■ .
