OPINIONS HELD BY “LEFT WING”
MR S. G. HOLLAND SEEKS INFORMATION (From Our Parliamentary Reporter) WELLINGTON, August 4. “I am sure that the country is awaiting with keen interest a declaration from the leaders of the left wing, which, I understand, just out-numbers . the right wing, of their financial policy,” said Mr S. G. Holland (Nat., Christchurch North). He thought that it was the taxation proposals and monetary policy of the Government that was daily widening the breach between the two sections of the Labour Party. Although the member for Oamaru (Mr A. H. Nordmeyer) had promised to give the information on the financial policy that the country was awaiting so eagerly, he had refused to be drawn and had left the country in the air about the real financial policy of the party to which he was allied. “The member for Oamaru is one of the acknowledged leaders of the left wing, although I am not sure that there has not been a little skirmishing going on for the actual leadership,” Mr Holland added. “Anyhow we will put him in as vice-captain in the meantime.”
