State Controls
"Although Government controls jnay be unavoidable in time of war. and perhaps, in some cases, for a time after war lias ceased, they should be discontinued at the earliest possible date so that business may be restored to its former freedom, " said Mr \\ r . B. Griffin (Nelson) in his presidential address t:> the annual meeting of the New Zealand Society of Accountants. "Governments. of any colour, are notoriously reluctant to relinquish powers once they have been assumed, and we. must, if we believe in the individualistic way of life, be vigilant that these wartime controls da 3101 insidiously develop into perjnanent controls, accompanied by further State ownership. It has been well said that man has no rights •which be is not prepared to earn jjiiew each morning."
