AN "AMAZING" SPEECH
DEFAULT OR REPUDIATION WHAT DOES MR LEE ADVOCATE? (From Our Parliamentary Reporter) WELLINGTON, Aug. 9. "We have just heard from Mr Lee one of the most amazing speeches ever delivered in this House," said Mr J. M. Allen (Opposition, Hauraki), who followed Mr Lee in the Financial debate in the House of Representatives to-night. Mr C. L. Carr (Govt., Timaru): Brilliant. " Does the member for Grey Lynn advocate wholesale repudiation or default, or was he speaking with his tongue in his cheek and did not believe in what he was saying? " asked Mr Allen. A Government member: Who wrote that? Mr Allen: I cannot think that the member for Grey Lynn was serious when he advocated that this country could win out with a policy of repudiation or default. Mr A. S. Richards (Govt., Roskill): He never said either. "The onus lies on the Government," said Mr Allen, "to disown the policy recommended by Mr Lee."
