Holland, M.P., addressing a large audience in the Waipuknrau Municipal Theatre tonight in support of Hie campaign by Mr. C. G. E. Harker, National candidate for the Waipawa seat. Electors should make their eboien and judge the parties in the field in terms not of who would promise the most, of something for nothing, but of who would see to the production of a sufficiency of good- and services to justify the social services to which the country was committed. Mr. Holland "What, this country needs,” be added, "is more self-reliance and less spoon-feeding, more hard work and less self-indulgence and leaning on the State.”

He said he had got I lie impression that. Mr. Christie suggested that, if he were elected lie would be able to get almost anything from the Government. but that Mr. Harker, if elected, would be able to get “only the crumbs from the rich man’s table.” “I. want to defend the Labour Party front an allegation of the sort that implies,” .Mr. Holland said.
