LABOR CONFERENCE
• THE LAND QUESTION. By Telegraph. —Press Association. Auckland, Tuesday. The Labor Conference this morning resolved to delete from its platform the clause urging the full use and occupation of lands based upon comparatively small holdings, long leasehold, reasonable rental, etc., and substitute the following under the general heading:—'"To maintain all progressive legislation enacted and insist upon its sympathetic and proper administration. To enact comprehensive measures to establish such conditions as foster and ensure equality of opportunity, also the moral material and educational advancement, general comfort and well-being of the whole people, based upon the gradual public ownership of all means of production, distribution and exchange." Auckland. Later. The Conference, considering the platform of the new Labor Party, rejected, by 12 to 4, an amendment to substitute "socialism" for -'public ownership", in connection with the means of production, distribution and exchange. Practically the decision was against extreme socialism.
