WAR CAUSE OF BORROWING
REFORM CANDIDATE’S VIEWS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Ashburton, Last Night. Mr. David Jones, Reform candidate for Mid-Canterbury, addressed a meeting to-night. He claimed the Reform Government represented labour better than any Labour Government in the Empire. Regarding finance, he said the interest on the war debt sinking fund amounted to practically the amount spent on public works last year, so that but for the war burdens borrowing could have ceased. Mr. Jones defended the Government’s land policy, but said further development was essential. A vote of thanks was carried by acclamation.
