A CORRECTION
BY SIR A. NGATA.
(By Telegraph —Per Press Association)
WELLINGTON August 6
A statement by Sir A. Ngata in charge of Government Life Insurance Department says:—My attention lias just been drawn to a Press Association message which credits me with having stated in a discussion in the House on the report of the Government Life Insurance Commissioner that the Department “had difficulties in respect of meeting interest charges and such . I have'been misreporte in this matter. What I intimated was (in reply to a remark by the Leader o the• Labour Party regarding some of the uneniploywlio had a difficulty in paying their life insrance premimuni). that the Department had its own difficulties, and found trouble in collecting its interest charges. To say that such a flout - isliing institution as the Government Life Insurance Department had a difficulty in. meeting its interest charges is absurd in the extreme, particularly a sit has no such charges to meet. I think it necessary to clarify the position as there are opponents of the office ever ready to seize upon anything: which they consider will in an\ way tetard the great nr gross it i s undoul ted lv making.
