ADDRESS TO LABOUR
WRECKERS IN PARTY DR. MCMILLAN’S WARNING 'Addressing the Labour Party Debating Clulb, Dunedin, on •'Laibour and War Finance,” Dr. D. G. McMillan, M.P., warned Labour Party msmlbers that their opponents could defeat them only from Within, and not from without the party. The democratic basis of the Labour Party made it possible, he said, for its opponents to use the party’s democratic machinery to hold up its programme. "Mr. Semple and Mr. Webb have been warning members against the opponents outside the party,”’ Dr. McMillan said, “Ibu't it is ■my opinion that the wreckers and National Party agents who have got inside the party are far more dangerous. To give but one example. Everybody knows that the nationalisation of the -Blank of New Zealand has been in our platform for years, and yet Since we have been the Government, wreckers and -National Party agents within the party have done their best to_ prevent that plank being put into effect.”
