“A MIGHTY SHOUT”
VOICE OF COMBINED MEN OF BUSINESS FREE TO CRITICISE “When our voice is heard through the associated chambers it becomes a mighty shout.” said the chairman of the Wellington Chamber of Commerce, Mr. E. Salmond, when he had mentioned at Tuesday night’s meeting o> the chamber that a certain member of Parliament had said in the House that no weight could be attached to any opposition from the chambers of commerce in connection with the South Island Main Trunk railway, says the Wellington “Dominion.” “We speak for responsible business men in Wellington,” he added. “This chamber has no part in politics, and that leaves us free to criticise any Government —United. Deform or Labour —that might be in power. “It cannot be denied that a unanimous resolution from a body like this must carry a lot of weight. You will all agree that a resolution from such a variety of interests will carry much weight with responsible people. When our voice is heard through the associated chambers it becomes a mighty shout. “As far as the South Island railway is concerned, all we ask is that the Government make the fullest inquiry before they proceed with the work,” concluded Mr. Salmond.
