(Per Press Association—Copyright).:
WELLINGTON, October 6
“Never in any eight months record in the history of this country havo so many important acts been written on the statute book,” said the Hon. W. Nash, Minister of Finance, speaking at a farewell function at Lower Hutt.
“We are not going to wreck *he country. We have definitely set out on the road to build it up, and inane it the finest country in the world. “New' Zealand’s standard of living is the highest in the world, but it could he much better.” Continuing, Mr Nash said a remafkable tribute to the administration of the Labour Party was the voting at the Manukau by-election. This was proved when, after the Goverment had written what was imperative and important on the Statute book, they should have won the; seat by 4400 votes with a candidate not j
well-known, in Manukau. From what he bad been told by English visitors, if the Labour Government in New 7 Zealand cpyld < wiip the help of the people, a seeped time, Britain* would have a Labour/''Government next time. i
New 7 Zea Land was a country in which the people of. Britain were profoundly interested, and if La hour succeeded here its triumph would bo tw'ofold.
