An Open Invitation.
“Speaking in the House of Representatives last week, Mr. Holland and other members of the Labour party roundly denounced the promoters of the 1928 Committee as a pack of ‘profiteers’ and a menace to the welfare of the community. Particularly they took the committee to task for having maligned the Public Trust Office, the Public Trustee, and all their works, and for having suggested that private enterprise could manage such an institution much better than the State had done. All that was lacking in this indictment was the element of truth. Of this there was never a shred. The committee so far has made no comment upon the Public Trust Office and its management. It has obtained reports, and it has been supplied with information. It has realised the great value of the institution, and it may suggest some change in its administration. Meanwhile, the Labour party’s ‘intelligent anticipation’ of what the committee is going to say is excelled only by the zeal of the party’s official newspaper in contradicting all the unspoken strictures of the committee.”
