“CONFESSION OF FAILURE”
MR HOLLAND’S CHARGE P.A. WELLINGTON. May 28. “Mr Nash’s confession of failure—for that is what his statement on the imports muddle amounts to —comes as no surprise to those who watched the situation developing.” said the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Holland. He added that the bestjc’ourse for Mr Nash to take was to do what had been done with the control of dairy and meat exports—hand it back to private enterprise and apologise for the mess things had got into. Mr Holland said that hundreds of workers in industry would lose their jobs because there were insufficient materials for them to work with. Britain was crying out for trade, and had millions of pounds’ worth of goods awaiting shipment, and yet the people of New Zealand could not spend money on what they wanted.
