“WELL-INFORMED PEOPLE”
(To The Editor i Sir,—My attention has been drawn to a letter published in your columns over the signatures of Messrs Rowlings and Edwards, of the Motueka Labour Party. I regret the use of the word “worthwhile.” All people of goodwill are worth-while. My meaning would be better conveyed by the following words, “all the well-informed people are behind Mr Holyoake.” In the near future a much greater proportion of the electors will be “well-informed” so far as politics are concerned in New Zealand. The Parliamentary members of the present Socialist Government do not know even the A.B.C. of finance, industry, economics or defence. That fact is about to be demonstrated in its entirety to the sorrow of the residents of New Zealand This will bring in its train such poverty and hardship as New Zealand has never known. We of the National Party fought hard to avoid this, and we will continue the fight in the interests of the whole of the people of the Dominion.
A Governmento f the type we have in New Zealand is a serious menace to the Empire and democracy.—l am, etc., J. R. KERR. Nelson, 27th January.
