GOING FULL JOURNEY
Mr Savage on Labour's Programme NOT A QUARTER GONE YET "We haven't gone a quarter of the way but I promise you in the name of Labour that we are going tho full journey," declared the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. M. J. Savage, in his final addrese on his South Island tour, to a igathering of Labpur supporters at Ashburton. "What is the journey P" continued M!r Savage. "Simply to enable all men and women to exchange services without paying tribute to a third party ; to have a wider education; to enjoy more leisure and recreation; to live a fuller life. "How mtich remains to be done? I see it on every hand. I see tremendous productivity and yet I come up against comparative poverty. I eay in all sincerity, 'It has to go.' Our policy is to raise the man at the bottom of the ladder and to do it without dragging down the man at the top; but if there is to be any poverty, let'e all be poor. "The only part worth playin'g i« that of a helper of our neighbours. One might grow rich by playing all sorts of tricks, hnt what would that be worth? You can't take this world's gpods with you to the grave. The problem is; how can we make .it possible in a. world of plenty for everyone to have enough?''.
