CLEAN POLITICS
DR. CRAIG’S TESTIMONY By Telegraph.—Press Association WELLINGTON, May 2. Testimony to the cleanliness of New Zealand politics was given by Dr. G. Craig, who has just retired from the position of Comptroller of Customs, when speaking at a complimentary luncheon in his honour to-day. “It is a common idea that Ministers endeavour to adjust things in their own interests,” said Dr. Craig. “I have been mixed up with the Government for the last quarter of a century, and no Minister has even suggested or hinted in any way that I should make a recommendation which was not in the dictates of my own opinion. No manufacturer has ever approached me or suggested that I should do anything not in accordance with what I thought was the right thing to do.”
