TRANSFER TO SOUTH ISLAND
SOME NORTHERN INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY MR HOLLAND'S SUGGESTION (From Our Parliamentary Reporter) . Wellington, This Day. “By the transfer of some industrial activity from the North to the South Island not only would the war effort be helped but living conditions of many. North Island people would be improved,” contended the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Holland, speaking on the Imprest Supply Bill in the House of Representatives yesterday afternoon. At the present time he felt very much concerned about the tendency among the Government and departments to concentrate as much activity as possible in the North Island, when by the transfer of some of the work to the South Island the \yar effort could be considerably improved. Living conditions in Wellington and Auckland and other parts of the North Island were in a deDlorable condition and he would suggest that a committee be set up in” the House to make a survey of New Zealand and see where better accommodation could be found for a great many working people.
