Thi.s Day. “People in New Zealand are prisoners in their own country Even their cwn money is locked up. Mr Nash is the warder and Mr Savage the gaoler. The old cry of ‘freedom under the Union Jack’ does not mean anything in New Zealand to-day.’’ This was the picture painted by the Leader <>f the Opposition. Mr Adam Hamilton, in an interview when he arrived from the South thi :■ morning. “People of this country do not realise the seriousness of the import and export re. frictions," declared Mr Hamilton. “The real effect is that we arc prisoners. If a Now Zealand citizen to-day wants to take a holiday overseas he has got to apply to the Government for a permit and the Government will then decide how much of his own money he can take out of the country—unless a man has money overseas.” ‘The old cry of ‘freedom under the Union Jack’ does not mean anything in New Zealand to day," continued Mr Hamilton. “The policy being pursued by the present Government was bound to bring its reactions. Already wo have severe reactions in the form of these drastic restrictive quotas.” Brief reference was made by Mr Hamilton to the Social Security Act. There was little now the National Party could do. he said. They had fought it tooth and nail during its passage through the House. All that was known at present was that the Government did not propose to operate the free medical provisions of the Act. In the meantime that would mean a saving of £2.000.000 or £3.000,000 a year, but the whole tax was going on The proposed importation from overseas of 1000 artisans indicated that the Government w*as not usefully providing for all New Zealand’s own artisans, said Mr Hamilton. There must be plenty of men available Many of them who were employed on public works were not prepared to leave their jobs to take a chance in the building trade. “I have noticed that the Government has been commended by seme businessmen on its decision to review anomalies in the land and income tax,” continued Mr Hamilton. "I am convinced that when the Act is reviewed the people will not be too happy about it. They will get a big surprise, lor a review' of the anomalies is almost certain to mean an increase.”—Press message.
