LABOUR IN ACCORD GOVERNMENT ACTION UPHELD {Per Press Association. — Copyright.} GISBORNE, This Day. A statement that the Labour Party was entirely in accord with the action of the Government in supporting the League of Nations in the Abyssinian crisis was made by Mr Walter Nash, president of the party in an address last night. Although Labour in New Zealand had differed from the Government on many points, he wished to say that in this matter the party was completely and whole-heartedly" with the Government.
Mr Nash said he had had the privilege of seeing confidential documents in the hands of the Cabinet relating to the crisis, and lie wished to say that he held that every step taken by the Government had been taken with a full sense of responsibility.
