OROUA ELECTORATE
MR COBBE AT HUNTERVILLE Mr John G. Cobbe, United candi date for Oroua had a splendid meeting at Hunterville on Tuesday, there being a large attendance of electors. He severely criticised the Government and outlined the United Partv’s policy. At Mangaweka and the surrounding centres Mr Cobbe aso received a good reception. Out For Business “Far from being a burd?n on the resources of this country.” said Mr John Burns, United Party candidate for Wellington South, when speaking the other evening, “the party’s loan proposals are actually making for substantial relief. Here is a simple problem anyone can understand. There are seven millions at nresent sunk in uncompleted railways. Interest on this money is costing this country over £350,000 a year. Our loan proposals will finish the major portion of these worl». namely, a'l the main lines, and thereby immediately lift this deadweight load and make it revenueproducing. Thus the new capital will produce not only its own interest, but save that £350,000 a year as w? !l . That is what the United Party will do. We are out for business.’*
