OUR PARLIAMENT

Sir m —The sitting of the House onWednesday night July was both interesting and instructive, both i Parties putting their High Finance on the table } and playing for the 'j takes. Mr Combes stated that the Peace was not to be Avon by Party politics! No ? but did he mean "a peace after the Avar, under a totalitarian dictatorship?" Mr Combes speaking on the taking over of the Bank,of New Zealand said: "The Government is taking over the bank to create credit for the people and it will take the bank out of but to do this whilst a Government master and not servant of the people means that without the voice of the. peo-. ple ? it would be out of the frying pan into the fii*e; for he that controls the banks' exchange controls the *} Economic Freedom of the people. So much for Mr Combes. Mi* Holland speaking on reciprocal trade said that till we could find the metals and the oil in New Zealand.

we would have to buy the things required from outside. I challenge the statement that we have not found, the metals and oil in New Zealand for our requirements and state that it is vested interests that is keeping the people out of their heritage. He (Mr Holland) further states that we c;in look forward to great prosperity. I fancy I have heard that before, just round the corner. What about Argentine? There "will be no economic security whilst the International and the Gold Bloc (Bretton Woods) (rule supreme. Finally when speaking on Government on the people Mr Holland, says: "The Government should leave the people alone." Yes. And the people would welcome a change from party rule. A referendum as in Switzerland would bfe, a good move. Yours etc.
