PARTY PLEDGES
Sir, —People who have been financially reduced by the present world-wide depression are perhaps unjust when they ascribe their economic ills to the actions of the National Government. The extra taxation that it has been necessary to impose has kept the ship of state on an even keel, and should be likened to an insurance premium to ensure stability ana safety. The grotesque and disastrous schemes advocated by the Labour and Democrat Parties would soon land us in economic chaos. Labour's manufacture of credit by the printing press would soon reduce New Zealand to the post-war German position, and a wheelbarrow full of notes would be necessary to buy a pound of butter. As the Democrat Party has not much chance of being returned in anything more than a very small number, it must follow that all votes for Democrats are really votes for Labour. Make no mistake about this, nothing is surer. C.4.
