The music, was supplied by the Sundowners, who are playing better than ever. Messrs. D. IDowns and C. Car rington obliged with extras. Mr. O. Johansen was definitely good in the. role of Af.C. A Afonle Carlo dance was won bv Aliss 11. Transom and Mr. R. Deau. During the evening the president of the club, Mr. L. A.

COBBE AT TAIHAPE “Thu labour Party’s scheme of guaranteed prices lor the farmer is really a new name for inflation, and is nothing but a vote catching stunt, and a pretty crude one at that. Inflation has been tried in other countries ith disastrous results, and it is foolish to believe that a syst *ni that has proved a failure in other parts of the world would be a sucess in New Zealand,’’ declared the Hon. J. G. Cobbe, Minister of Justice, when addressing the electors in the Taihape Town Hall on Friday evening. His Worship the Mayor (Air. L. B. IL de Lautour) presided. Proceeding, the Minister stated that no farmer wanted guaranteed prices for his produce. The scheme was pernicious and foolish and would mean the < issue of currency, or in other words inflation. If a farmer received two and a-half 1 t ines the market value of a pound of i butter, he would have to pay ’wo and t a half times as much for his imports, s<> he would not be any better off. If I he were guaranteed 2s 6d a pound for ’ butter hv the New Zealand Government I and the butter only realised Is a yound i on the homo market, the farmers’ I credit in London would be based on : what the butter realised, mainly Is a > pound, and he would only be able to buy goods to the extent of his credit. The difference between the market I value of the butter, and the price guar- la antoed by the New Zealand Govern- I merit would have to be found by the Is

Government, and the question to be decided was “where was the money coming from?’’ One prominent member of the Labour Party had said; “The money can be created.” Such a scheme, said Air. Cobbe would mean flooding Ihe country with currency, and would be one of the greatest curses ever to fall on New Zealand. This idea to hide inflation under a new name was fantastic and pernicious and had proved a disastrous failure in Germany and other countries and no sane person would believe that it would be a success in New Zealand. There was not the slightest doubt as he had already pointed out that if a farmer receives two and a-half times as much as he should for his prodiiVe, he pays two and a-half times as much as he should for what he buys. The guaranteed prices scheme was I nothing but a vote catching stunt and I a very crude one al that, declared the speaker, who added that he deemed it I his duty to expose this fallacy. Air. Cobbe explained the pro\ isions of the Alortguges and Tenants Re’iet Bill. The Rural Alortgage Final Adjustment. Act, and the Mortgage Corporation Act. In dealing with the last named measure, the Afinister declared that it aimed at providing cheap monev and better terms tor the farmer, and was a piece of legislation that has the effect ot bringing down interest rates lower than ever before. Alanv would be advanced to the farmers nt the lowest possible rate. The assistance thus afforded the farmer, would be of benefit to the business community ns it was well known that one was to a great extent dependent on the other, and that any help rendered the farmer would be passed on to the. businessman. Air. Uobbe went on to say that the Labour Party had bitterly opposed the legislation introduced for the purpose of helping the farmer in need. In conclusion the Afinister remarked that the clouds of depression were lifting and he thought, that the country would be wise to continue to repose its trust in a staid administration that had no tricks in inflation to offer, hut recognised that New Zealand’s real wealth came from the land. .Mr. Forbes and Air. Coates had saved the Dominion millions of pounds by means of loan conversions and meat agreements. As far as the Rangitikei electorate was concerned, the electors would have to Choose between the sitting member, Mr. A. Stuart, and a Labour, and a Democratic candidate. Mr. Stuart was a man who had opinions of his own and never hesitated to express them. He always knew what he was talking about and was a man of sound common sense. Air. Cobbe was accorded a hearty vote of thanks on the motion of ATr. H. A. Belk, seconded by Air. F. C. Jurgens. The Minister was not asked any questions. MAJESTIC CINEMA. “WHAT EVERY” WOMAN KNOWS.” “What Every Woman Knows,” Helen Hayes’ latest starring picture which opens to-morrow at the Alajes tic Cinema, is a triumphal return for the star after a year's absence from the screen. After one of the most successful seasons in the history of the New York stage in “Alary of Scotland,” Miss Hayes came back to Hollvwood for the immortal role of Maggie in Sir Janies Barrie’s famous romance, and has reached new emotional heights. Maggie’s efforts to win a husband, although often declared to be a “woman with no charm,’’ provides a strong theme for the plot. After she wins a ; man through a marriage contract, her life is devoted to building his success and guarding the happiness she has won through much difficulty.
