HURUNUI ELECTORATE
THE PRIME MINISTER ADDRESS AT CULVERDEN (Pek United Press Association) . CULVERDEN, November 5. Another easy and successful meeting was experienced by the Prime Minister, Mr G. W. Forbes, to-night, when he addressed the electors at Culverden. For the greater part of a long speech he reviewed the conditions and difficulties of the worst period of the depression and claimed that the Coalition Government's measures had brought the country out of shadow into sunshine. The Dominion's position was now a sound one, and if compared with many other countries it could be said that New Zealand was very fortunate. It certainly was worth while to know we were out of our difficulties.
" The people," he said, " can now look forward to a period of reconstruction and sound progress with an experienced Government in the position to devote all its time and energy to restoring prosperity." - Referring to the application of the sanctions against Italy, Mr Forbes said New Zealand was playing its part as a signatory of thei Covenant of the League of Nations, which was being tested. If it failed they would all feel that the staff on which so many countries leaned had been broken. After replying to several questions the Prime Minister received a hearty vote of thanks and confidence.
