STRATFORD LIBERALS
PRESENTATION TO MR MASTERS,
MR MACDONALD ON THE SITUATION
(Per United Pres- Association.)
STRATFORD, May 26. Mr Robert Masters’ victory in gaining the Stratford seat was celebrated by a great social gathering and presentation of a gold watch and chain.
Amongst the guests was the Hon. W. D. S. Mac Donald who, after referring to the Liberal Party's record, declared that the greatest need in New Zealand at the present time was strong virile men to help rebuild and reconstruct the country after the war and Mr Masters was such a man. He ought to attain the highest Parliamentary rank. The Liberals would not go to Parliament with the idea of embarrassing the Government, but would act ns they thought best for every section of the people. Mr MacDonald also deplored the Government’s lack of policy, particularly with regard to the land. He said he believed the great majority of the people were Labour, though Labour was unfortunate in some of its leaders. So far as disloyal Labour was concerned the Liberal Party did not want to have anything to do with them, but loyal Labour was the. Liberal Party’s friend.
