Decisions Mode At- ILO Conference
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, This Day. Closer relationship between the moderate labour section and employers’ group was evident at the International Labour Office conference at Geneva, said Mr W. J. Mountjoy, secretary of the Wellington Employers’ Association, who returned by the Athenic today, after representing New Zealand employers at the conference. The decisions reached might be classed as liberal and largely in accord with the general principles of true democracy, he stated. They did not infringe the rights of private enterprise.
After reviewing world shortages, Mr Mountjoy said that all should fully realise that it was an individual responsibility as well as that of the state that every ounce of energy should oe utilised to the full.
It was pleasing to find that New Zealand was considered by representatives of other countries as a country of advancement and one that had legislated for fair and equitable working conditions for its people.
The next conference was to be held at San Francisco and he was convinced that New Zealand should be more strongly represented, not only to safeguard her own interests, but also the principle of private enterprise.
