“KING HARRY”
ROYALTY FOR MR. HOLLAND? LABOUR AND THE FLAG Is there a gem-studded coronet waiting for the head of Mr. H. E. Holland, Leader of the Labour Party? Will he be the wearer of gilt edge, purple lined robes of royalty? While speaking at Mr. W. Parry’s meeting this week, Dr. Hastings said the great need of our times was toleration. Toleration and respect for other people’s opinions helped to lubricate the wheels of progress. New Zealand Labour was a constitutional party and stood for loyalty to the King and Empire. (Applause.) Dr. Hastings said he knew of no other flag that stood so firmly for justice and fair play as did the Union Jack. His advice to anyone who was not satisfied with the British flag was to try and find a better one—if he could. The Prince of Wales was very friendly with Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, the British Labour Leader. (Applause.) The late Mr. Seddon in his early days in New Zealand was accused of being an extremist and a Socialist. Later on he was called King Dick. Might they not hope that one day Mr. Holland would be kftiown as King Ha.rry. (Applause.)
