TY'S POLITICAL ORGANISM! TO THE ELECTORS. Will the Socialistic Labour Party control New Zealand after the 1928 Elections ? If the present Administration Who has not felt a stir in the political air? Unrest, dissatisfaction, anxiety for the welfare of the country are everywhere. Men and women of all parties and of no party are becoming painfully eager for the good government of the Dominion. Is there no need for something better to be done? The plain facts cannot be denied. Here is a land possessed of marvellous material resources and peopled with a virile race. Yet its prosperity is insecure, its rural areas are but partially occupied, its industries are ill developed, and much of its vast potential wealth is unreaped. Unemployment is pitifully, shamefully rife. There is clearly a lack somewhere. It is the lack of efficient government. New Zealand's national business is in want of a more capable directorate, and its shareholders every man and woman with an interest in its affairs look for a policy of wise means and bold execution to replace the comparatively feeble efforts with which they have become discontented. Traditions avail little. Customary ways of looking at things and of doing things must be relentlessly reviewed, overhauled, challenged. The times demand new measures and new Is the present Parliament what theoretically it should be—the pick of the Dominion's best brains? Is it devoting itself to things of major and urgent importance? Is it remarkable for strong leadership, for business ability, for real statesmanship? The inevitable answer to such questions is no! To make it so, to improve its capacity for initiative and governance, a new political departure in the midst of the community is demanded. This new departure the promoters of the New Zealand United Political Organisation seek to make. Their aim is to create an organisation embracing every thoughtful man and woman bent on getting better government; then, when this first essential is achieved, to persuade competent and acceptable candidates to stand for Parliament and to bring to their aid an invincible body of support. What is proposed is not an extra party added to those already in existence. The Organisation's purpose is not to divide, but to unite, not to scatter, but to gather. Its policy is one that must appeal to the thinking men and women of the Dominion, who have become impatient with party divisions that mean little and party cries that mean less, and are ready to combine to place in Parliament candidates of unimpeachable national loyalty, proved business ability and keen concern, for the country's general welfare. Formed in no spirit of hostility—save to the influences in the community that make for disloyalty, discord and stagnation—the Organisation invites to membership all, whatever their previous party attachments, in general sympathy with its programme as here set out. United Political Party's Organisation General Objects. 1. To maintain loyalty to the King and the Constitution, to foster Imperial welfare and to resist any disintegrating influences. 2. To provide efficient land and sea defence for the protection of the homes of the people and the preservation of internal law and order. 3. To exalt the principle of equal opportunity for all, to oromote and encourage measures that will make for the happiness and increased prosperity of all sections of the community. 4. To combat strenuously influences that aim to create sectional or class privilege. 5. To ensure the recognition of the close interdependence of town and country, and the need for special effort towards general co-operation in the solution of our common problems. 6. To encourage the development of overseas trade and closer co-operation between New Zealand and other units of the Empire. 7. To encourage industrial efficiency through close co-operation and goodwill between Capital and Labour, thus providing greater rewards to those so engaged, and reflecting prosperity to all sections of the community. 8. To support measures calculated to preserve and improve the health of the people of the Dominion. 9. To ensure a continuity of sound legislation in the Dominion by educating our young men and women to a sense of civic responsibility. 10. To establish and take effective steps to ensure the return of a Parliamentary Party, comprising men and women of proved integrity and ability, irrespective of previous party or Parliamentary service, who approve and will loyally support the objects of the Association. 11. To foster the closest relations between the people and their Parliamentary representatives, by establishing district branches of the Association throughout the Dominion. Specific Objects. The adoption of a system of Land Settlement which would prevent the drift to the town, increase the number of our primary producers, and stimulate a greater diversity of, and increase in, the products of the soil. The creation of a new interest in the possibilities of Extractive Industries, which would utilise and manipulate the comparatively untouched natural and latent resources of this Dominion. Special endeavours would be made in the direction of accomplishing this object by co-operating with leaders of industry and science. The initiation of K a modern system of finance for the purpose of extending industrial and commercial banking facilities. Such a system would incorporate a practical rural finance scheme, and furnish a' means whereby our Land Settlement and Extractive Industries policies can be put into effect. The revision of our present system of education with a view to more effectually meeting modern requirements of agriculture, ~ industries, and commerce. The progressive development of our communicative systems. The elimination of economic loss due to unemployment by the encouragement of new wealth-creating industries within the Dominion. The formulation of a sound policy of selective immigration, consistent with the opportunities offering in the Dominion, and with due regard to prevailing economic conditions. The encouragement of private initiative as opposed to paternalism of the State; the placing of competitive State trading concerns on the same basis as those who are engaged in private industry, and the elimination of all such concerns which are unable to show profitable returns. The stimulation of optimism and confidence, in the destiny of New Zealand, and the discouragement of pessimistic and apathetic influences. These objects are frankly announced in the confidence that they provide a basis for united action commendable to all classes in the community. They are positive and constructive. The need for prompt action is imperative. There has been too long a policy of drift. Lest worse befall New Zealand than has as yet happened, a halt must be called to this policy; and not only a halt, but a rally to new and bolder enterprise. This call the Organisation's promoters venture to give, believing that the time is opportune for such a bold movement. It remains for all who have a deep regard for their country's welfare to respond and join the Organisation. The Auckland address of the new Organisation is No. 27, Ferry Buildings, Quay Street. A. E. DAVY, Organiser.
