NATIONAL WAILINGS.

(To the Editor). S; r) —Tlie Nationalists wail and complain about first one tiling and then an- | other, forgetting that they held th« 'treasury benches for so many years, and brought the country into the pretty I mess it got into. They did not create the slump, but accentuated it by total incapacity, and mismanagement. In th« good times they piled up debts for which there "was no excuse. They showed that neither in good times, nor bad times, were they fit to govern. A while back the Nationalists even complained that the churches were entering politics and showing socialistic tendencies towards the present Government. Naturally, the churches, preaching the Gospel of, Jesus Christ, whom else could they support? Now, the Nationalists complain about the business people not supporting them, as they think they should. Quoting the "National News" of July Ist, it says:—"Are the business men of New Zealand putting on the brakes and checking the political debt-makers? As far as I can learn, they are not. They appear, at the moment, to be in a state of torpor. Surely, during 1938, they will find aleader and take action." The Nationalists have had their chance, even to a "blank cheque," and proved a failure. The people now support the present Government, acting on Christian principles, and trying to put into practice the teachings of the Master. FACTS.
