LABOUR LEGISLATION
THE GOVERNMENT’S RECORD 4 ' . ! MANY IMPORTANT -ACTS (By Telegraph—Press Association) WELLINGTON, This Day. “Never in any eight months’ record in the history of this country have, so many important Acts been written on 1 ' the Statute Book,” said the Hon. W. Nash, Minister of Finance, .speaking at a farewell function at Lower Hutt. “We are not going to wreck the country. We are definitely set on the road to build it up, and make it the finest, country in the world. The New Zealanders’ standard of living is the highest in the world, but it could be much better.”
Continuing, Mr Nash said a remarkable tribute to the administration of the Labour Party was the voting at the Manukau by-election. He was proud that after the Government had written what was imperative and important on the Statute Book they should have won the seat by : 4400 votes with a candidate not well known m Manukau. From what ho had been told by an English visitor, if the Labour Government in New Zealand win the help of the people a second time, Britain would have a Labour Government next time. New Zealand was a country in which the people of Britain were profoundly interested, and if Labour succeeded here its triumph would be twofold.
