BUSINESS AND POLITICS
TRADES COUNCIL’S ATTITUDE A RETALIATORY MOVEMENT (PA) NEW PLYMOUTH Dec.. 14. The opinion was expressed during a discussion at a meeting in New Ply : mouth of the executive of the Taranaki Trades Council that all workers, pensioners, working farmers, and Goyeminent supporters should place their orders with firms which did not mix business with politics. This arose out of a discussion on the attitude of the Taranaki Chamber of Commerce about the recent banking legislation passed by the Government. Particular reference was made to a resolution moved by the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr M. b. Hughson, authorising the removal of the chamber’s account from the Bank of New Zealand. The anti-Govern-ment propaganda of the Chamber of Commerce, it was suggested revealed it as a vicious subsidiary pf the National Party, and it was felt that it should be regarded more as a political organisation than as a body mainly concerned with commercial matters.
