Some of the pumice land would carry a cow to two acres,” he declared seriously. # A Voice at the Back (not so seriously): Nikaus! “There is a great deal of pumice land requiring development.” Mr. Hewitt went on. "I have been on it, and I know it.” An Interjector: That’s not skilled labour! Another Voice: What has that to do with Auckland Central? Mr. Hewitt: You have to have brains for farming. Mr. Hewitt explained the party platform, and declared that Sir Joseph Ward had placed Rotorua on the map. A Voice: Did he find it at Freeman’s Bay ? The candidate showed signs of annoyance. “The man who jokes with politics while people are starving is a fool,” he retorted. tie was accorded a vote of confidence.
