The Leader of the Reform Party, the Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates, accompanied by Mr. D. Jones, M.P. for Mid-Canterbury, i'idivered an address to a crowded salience on Saturday. He dealt largely .with economic conditions. . Speaking of the assistance given by the Reform Party to the Government, he said that for the first time in the British Empire's political history ,tbey had had a case of a party not only giving away its policy to an opposing party, but assisting the latter to put it in operation. Of seven points recently propounded by Reform, six were now in operation by the United Party, with the assistance of Reform.
Mr. Coates admitted that in the early stages Reform fought United tooth and rail, and said when the Government's policy changed, and something on sounder lines was attempted, full co-operation was forthcoming.. He asserted that wages and general conditions had vastly improved during Reform's regime, to a greater extent than under any previous Administration.
