LABOUR AIMS.

GREATER VOICE IN GOVERNMENT. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. LONDON, Jan. 8, Mr. Arthur Henderson (the wellknown Labour leader), speaking at Widnes, said Labour was not content to rest upon the results achieved, and it was not satisfied with the precarious alliance with the old parties. Such an alliance meant a compromise. It is not suggested Labourites were all fully equipped to discharge the functions of Government, but the same could be said of other parties. Nevertheless, Labour possessed men trained in public affairs who were the intellectual equals of the representatives of other parties. The miners had resolved to take steps to increase the number of miners’ candidates at the next election.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
