ZEALAND WELFARE LEAGUE. Sane Solid Reasons Why We Oppose the New Zenhwd Labour Parly’s Candidates. 0* Because a party that would not help to light lor New Zealand yhen tire 'country was iu uunger nas no right to call ltselt a IN ew. Zealand party. - Li) (Because it stole the name it goes hy from tne old ‘N ew Zealand liauour Party,’ ’ wmen stood ror tne spirit oi nationalism which the present party denies. (9) Because it asks tne electors to vote lor its oanurdates on the plat|prgi presented and heeps nruden tne laot that its platlorm is subject to alteration and amendment at euon annual conlerence oi delegates. Tne electors are, theieiore, being; asked to sign a blank cheque wnicn tne Labour Party's conference opsuie of Pnrnainent, win axterwarus nn as it pleases. (4) Because it iollows tne line ol camouflage and deceit to the extent Pi pbsenring dll regal’d lor principle, its candidates express moderate Views or revolutionary according to the district and people they are addressing. (5) Because its politics are hagrantiy dishonest, its objective declares plainly for socialism and its platlorm lor individualism. (6) Because the party’s candidates, if elected, would not be the representatives oi the people wno elected them, but will be answerable only to tne conference oi tfleir own party. (7) Because, though. the party's platiorm says tney stand ior a “citizen army on a voluntary basis/' they nowliere aitirm that such army shall be used ior purposes oi national deience. Delegates at last conierence made it quite clear that wliat they meant by a “citizen army" was a class army ior purposes pi confiscation and revolution. (8) Because, whilst the party's constitution admits into membership industrial unions and federations, it denies any responsibility ior the acts oi such industrial bodies. (9) Because it pretends to be opposed to the methods oi “direct action” and “go-slow strikes, but excuses the '"action of those who carry them out on the ground that “it is necessary,” just as Germany excused her act of destroying her treaty to respect Belgium’s neutrality on the ground that “it was necessary.-/ (IB) Bumiim it claims the right oi free speech for its own candidates and its supporters deny the right oi tree speech to others, by acts of bullying and rowdyism, where they can get away with. it. (It) BiCauSC its pose oi purity and professions before the electors that it will not indulge in personalities and abuse is mere hypocrisy, as its leading exponents on many occasions resort to. the vilest abuse and grossest personalities. (12) Because where it puts forward any reasonable proposals it shows itself entirely unfit, to carry them into practical effect, with due regard to sound finance and tne necessary stability of our institutions. It defeats good proposals by straining them to excess. (13) Because it praises the Liberals who are dead—Grey, Ballance, and Seddon —and lies about those*who are living, saying that Ward, MacDonald, Wilford, and others, have done nothing 1 for the workers, which is not true. (1* Because it refuses to credit the Deform Party with any good acts, though its own members voted for a number of the measures that 'Mr Massey ’s Government has passed. (15) Because it pleads for the conscientious objectors who recogf nised no duty to their country, and, at the same time, it disfranchises any man for six years from standing as a Labour Party candidate, -Who has conscientions objections to its present policy or platform. * (16) Because it is a party inspired by the wild and cunning spirit of revolutionism, and its more moderate members are the mere servitors of the spirit that guides its movements. It has aheorhed the vile opportunism of the I.W.W. school of revolutionism and its spokesmen will profess anything, be anytjung, and attempt anything with the sole object of securing power to be-used later in creating a state founded on the basis of communistic ownership under industrial union direction and control.
