PAYING OWN PENSIONS
DISCOVERY BY MAORIS POLITICAL “ GHOST ” LAID (P.A'.) HASTINGS, Aug. 8. The fallacy of the assertion that he personally and the National Party, if returned to power, would cut out the benefits of social security was mentioned by Sir Apirana Ngata, National Party candidate for the Eastern Maori electorate, in an address in Hastings last evening. He urged - the Maori and the pakeha to study social security and see for themselves that what they were drawing out of it was what they put into it Sir Apirana recalled that during the 1938 election campaign and again in 1943 the possibility of the National Party making cuts in social securityhad been exploited by. Government representatives, but he was confident this time that this particular "ghost” would not frighten people. “I have been going about my own people discussing social security with them,” he added, “and. do you know, they have found out that they are the people who have been paying their own pensions." (Laughter).
