THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
Thu La no u h Party. Mr P. Neilson, secretary of the Labour Representation Committee in Dunedin, had stated recently, said Air Smith, a candidate for Parliamentary honors, that the Labour Party did not stand for the abolition of capital, hut that it stood for the abolition of private ownership and competition. He had gone on to say that the party proposed to socialise land and everything that pertained to man’s wellbeing. He (Mr Smith) did not. stand for that.—(Applause). In a speech on October 20th. Mr Harrison, another Labour candidate, said he advocated the transfer of land from private ownership to community' ownership. Mr Harrison demanded the adoption of the principle behind the whole platform of the Labour Party as outlined by its chief apostle (Mr H. E. Holland) —the socialisation of the whole means of production distribution, and exchange. all means of transport, including buses, trains and shipping, hanking institutions, and so on. That was the dominating principle behind the Labour Party’s platform, and it could not be disguised, soft-pedal as the party might do.
