Party Policy
"ASK AGAIN"
Sir, — The other day the acting-l'rime Minister said that the deeisions of the Labour Conl'erence would not necessarily be adopted by the Government. It would do what it deenied riglit in the iuterests' oi' tiio eountry. 1 ronieiuber that Mr Savage niade a siiniliar statement about a year ago, and it
seems to me to be tbe only thing that any Government could do. But I have i had ;a quotation from a speech by Mr Nasb last session sbown to me, and it indicates jthat the conference deeisions • are, muchi more binding than Mr Fraser suggested. Here is what' Mr Nash is ; reported to> have said. — • ; "Th\- policy of the party will not he \ altered until the next election comes, ; and some time between now and ihe ; eleetion there will be be three con-' ferences of the party, At these con- ' ferences any alterations considered by the delegates to be in the interests of j the Dominion wil'l be- written into the l policy of the party to b© submitted to ; tbe electors in its manife'sto an 1908, i when the next general election takes i place." j And that being so, where _ do we j now stand ?— Yours.ete. ,
Hastings, April 10, 1937.
