MR: VEITCH'S VIEWS. PARTY LOST TO THE LIBERALS. • . fUxiTED Press Association.) . CHRISTCHURCH, March 8. Speaking to-night at a social to Mr D_ G. Sullivan, the defeated Labour candidate . tor Riccartcn,\ Mr : \Y r r A. A eitch. M.P. ■ for - Wanganui, said that for - the future the Labour Party must usa /whatever party was most suitable for- their own requirements, and do the* best they could with it for that purpose. But the identity of th e Labour arty must be maintained to carry on the Work of that party. If there weie a few more Labour men in Parliament they could wield tremendous influence; even as it is they had power to ensure •progress on sound lines. The Labour ..Party, he eaid, was lost to the Liberal Jfarty, not because the workers hau ceased to be Liberals, but because the Leader of the Liberal Party had ceased to : be democratic. The Hon.

Messrs Hunter and Whiting, two locr.l Labour leaders, urged that no Labour man should take a position in a Ministry other than a Labour Ministry.
