OBJECTIVE OF BRITAIN

UNITY OP THE EMPIRE RE SI ST INC! AG 0 R ESSI ON 'LABOR LEADER’S MESSAGE (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this clay. The following message has been sent by Mr. A. Greenwood, actingLeader of the Opposition, to the New Zealand Labour Party: “In this dark hour of common struggle, British Labour sends its fraternal greetings to Labour in New Zealand. “We, like you, have promptly and unhesitatingly taken our stand as a part of a united British commonwealth in the grim struggle against the latest act of Nazi aggression. The common peoples of many lands have been hurled into cruel conflict by Herr Hitler in furtherance of his ambitious aims at domination and conquest. His responsibility is criminal: His excuse a lie.

"tVith firm resolution and without passion, we have accepted his brutal challenge. We are animated by a single and steadfast purpose, It is to put a final end to the methods of violence and the use of force to achieve national purposes, to restore the rule of law among nations, to make secure the liberty of peoples and to usher in a new order of peace and justice for all. “These are our common aims. In their full realisation, lies the one sure hope for the security and the happiness of the peoples of the world.
