IN BRIEF...
“The farming industry has £27,000,000 in the Stabilisation Account. Can any other section of the community or any other industry show such* a reserve? Has the farmer been ill-treated? Hasn’t Labour been a friend to the farmer? That money is the farmer’s; it is there to bolster in time of need.’’—Mr H. K. Hatrick (Labour, Hobson).
The Labour Party took full credit for making it easier for people to marry and have children, said the Rev. Clyde Carr, speaking at Gleniti on Tuesday. “And the results are to be seen everywhere,” he added. “Bigger families* are coming. The signs are apparent. The movement has begun. They are on the way.” * * * *
“I’m not going to review the past; I don’t need to —not that I’m ashamed of it, but I want to deal with the future,” stated Mr H. K. Hatrick, opening his Kawakawa address. “Some of the parties competing with us at this election haven’t the same proud past as Labour.”
Questioner: Are you still sticking to orthodox finance? (After all, the meeting was in the Bay of Islands!)
Mr H. K. Hatrick (Labour): One step at a time’s enough!
The opinion held by some Labour Party officials that the New Zealand Labour Party would meet with the same success at the polls as the Australian Labour Party recently was unwise, Mr J. R. Marshall (National), speaking at Kilbirnie. The Labour Party had lost six seats in Australia, and if it lost six seats here it would no longer be the Government.
“The transformation the Labour Government has worked in New Zealand can be simply expressed,” said Mr C. Morgan Williams, Labour candidate for St Albans. “When "we first came into power our main preoccupation was to find enough jobs for the workers. Now the worry is to find enough workers for the job.”
"The utmost resources of every civilised country, not excluding this country, must be mobilised to enable the United Nations Organisation to survive the difficulties which confront its efforts to promote international amity. Under a Labour Government New Zealand will do its share,” said the Minister of Industries and Commerce (Mr Sullivan), speaking at New Brighton.
