THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
Labour and Communism
Dealing with the Labour Party during his address at Hastings, Mr H. M. Campbell. M.P., Reform candidate for Hawke’s Bay, said that though 95 per cent of the workers were as loyal as anyone could be, they were unfortunate in being lured to stick to straightout Communists, as their leaders were. Take Mr Holland. He represented New Zealand at a Conmunists’ conference in Australia. Labour’s vote of condolence on Lenin’s death and the celebration in the Wellington Trades Hal! of his accession were instanced by the speaker. Fifteen months ago, in Auckland. Mr Holland had said that the supreme aim of Labour was Socialism, and that the main stated planks of the party were used only as a stepping stone to that end. Mr J. A. Lee said that the Party’s aims had not altered, but only its phraseology.”
