LABOUR PARTY TO MOVE NO CONFIDENCE MGTION AFTER ADDRESS-IN-REPLY

Wellington, .Thursday. In the House of Representatives this afternoon, the Leader of the Opposition (Mr. H. E. Holland) gave notice of his intention to move the following addition to the Address-in-Reply motion. We deem it our duty to represent to Your Excellency that Your Exeellency's advisers do not possess the confidence of this House, hecause (1) they have made the financial and industrial depression worse by their policy of deflation and reducing wages and salaries: (2) they have failed to utilise credit resources and currency facilities of the State to reestablish prosperity by restoring and increasing the purchasing power of the people as a whole; (3) they have failed hopelessly to grapple effectively with the unemployment situation, and have made living and working eonditions of the unemployed progressively worse; (4) they precipitated and accentuated the marked and deplorable decline in prices, equity and purchasing power, and even when the evil results of deflation were only too evident, they have failed to do anything to arrest that decline; (5) they failed to give consideration to proposals for dealing with the present financial position advanced from time to time by the Labour Party and others, including the proposal for a State Central Bank with complete control of banlcing, currency and credit.
