WELLINGTON, July 3. "Nothing in recent tiines lias so profoundly stil-red tlie people of X'ew Zealand in regard to industrial action, as the Wanganella dispute. " said Hon. W. Grounds in the Legislativc Council today when speaking in the Address-in-Reply debate. "The aim seems to have been to get whatever possible at any cost," he said. "That is reviving the code of the highwayman which is the antithesis of civil procedure and if it is continued it will be impossible for civilisation to surviv^i. ' ' Mr. Grounds said the question to answer was how to establish a recognition of court decisions in industrial disputes. In any democratic country the final arbiter must be public opiilion. He called for a co-operative effort to assist tlie Government overcotue postwar problems. There was eleinental selflshness and there were many forlns of opportunity for takrng advantage of the present conditioiis. "It would seem there is an nndeclareci -war from some quarters of the commitnity, which is carried into the social sphere," said Mr. Groimds. "It is wrong and it has to be ehallenged. "
