RATIONAL PARTY
OTOROHANGA LADIES’ AUXILIARY. SPEECH BY MR BROADFOOT.' There was a large attendance in the Otorohanga Town Hall on the occasion of the first meeting of the recently-formed Women’s Auxiliary of the National Party. Mr F. O. R. Phillips, chairman of the Town Board, presided, and introduced the member for Waitomo, Mr W- J. Broadfoot, who addressed the gathering on matters of political in terest.
Mr Broadfoot stated that the Nationalists stood for closer settlement of the lands of New Zealand on a freehold basis and the right of farmers to control the marketing of the products of the land. He severely criticised the present Government’s policy regarding State housing, which he classed as a ghastly and very costly failure. The object of the National Party was to interfere as little as possible with private enterprise, as it was an established fact, as the result of private enterprise, that this Dominion had reached the prosperous state that it enjoyed to-day.
