LABOUR AT ROTORUA
GOVERNMENT ASSAILED (Special to THE SUN) ROTORUA,. Sunday. “The Reform Government is on trial before the bar of public opinion for broken and unfulfilled promises, for breaches of confidence, and for political ‘confidence tricks,’ ” asserted M.r. A. G. Christopher, the Labour candidate for Rotorua, when addressing a meeting at the Ngongotaha hall. He said that the Government was bankrupt as far as a land policy was concerned, and had increased the interest on State advances by 1$ per cent. It had introduced immigrants into the Dominion under misrepresentation. The Dominion had gone back to the days of the Atkinson Government, causing the establishment of soupkitchens and doss-houses. Labour, on the other hand, represented humanity and enlightened progress, and had a message which meant the salvation of the people from •unemployment, low' wages, bankruptcy, financial collapse, and ecomonic stagnation, and it would be to Labour that the people, seeking security and a better life, would turn. Mr. Christopher was accorded a hearty vote of thanks for his which was carried unanimously.
