Mr. Lyons Castigates Labour Finance
[Per Press Association. — Copyright .] CHRISTCHURCH, This Day.
An audience of some hundreds applauded Mr M. E. Lyons, National candidate for Christchurch South, last night. He replied to six Cabinet ministers and three other visiting Labour Party speakers who have supported Mr R. Macfarlane, the Labour candidate.
Mr Lyons told his audience that the Labour Cabinet’s house was now falling about its ears, and that the financial structure of the Dominion was shaking like a pack of cards. This, he said, was due to the policy the Labour Party had put into operation in an attempt to keep some of the extravagant promises made during the election. The campaign in the 1935 election, he said, had been one of the most heightened pieces of false pretence ever put across in this country, as the people could now see.
