WHY WELCOME ROYALTY?
"KEYSTONE OF ARISTOCRACY."
LABOUR, ASKS A QUESTION.
The Canterbury Labour Representation Committee—the body which has to «lo with the running of candidates for Parliamentary honours—is greatly hurt that the Christchurch City Council ehould propose to spend money upon the reception and entertainment of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales.
This is how the committee expressed itself through a resolution passed at its annual meeting: — "That this meeting of the Labour Representation Committee strongly protests against the proposal of the Christchurch City Council to use material, labour, and money in welcoming Royalty, especially when material, labour and money can be diverted into better channels, and more especially when it is realised that Royalty is the keystone of aristocracy, and that the perpetuation of aristocracy is inimical to the best interests of Labour."
