LABOUR’S RECORD
Sir, —In the pamphlet “Labour Led the Way in 1931-35.” the National Party propagandist refers to Labour politicians thus: "None of them with more than average ability and many below that mark.” Judging by the level of debate in the House, more especially the loud but empty arguments of Nationalist members when opposing legislation which is, to-day, acclaimed and emulated by several countries much larger than ours, “average ability” is, on their part, an unfortunate choice of a standard to be used in the evaluation of their claim for preference. The electors will be well advised to keep the Holland-Doidge-Algie combination where it is—in a position to pursue the only policy suited to its reactionary mental outlook, the attempted obstruction of every sound and scientific measure brought forward by a progressive, well-in-formed government for the benefit of the community.—Yours, etc., J. A. MEARTON. Hinds, June 18, 1946.
