Labour Party Split “Ridiculous,” Says Lee
L u er P r ess Association. - Copyright'.] WELLINGTON, This Day.
A report published in an Australian paper last week stated that a serious split in the party threatens to weaken the New Zealand Government.
It was also stated that the leadership of the Prime Minister, Mr. Savage, was being challenged from the left wing by Mr. J. A. Lee.
“Ridiculous,” said Mr. Lee, when the report was referred to him yesterday.
“Any Nationalist who expects a split in the Labour party will be expecting three years hence.”
