Wellington, he met a full hall, principally of workers, to explain the attitude of the new party led by him towards the workers of New Zealand. Mr. Wilford, who was enthusiastically received, stated that the new party stood against Mr. Massey and Mr. Holland; that his party was opposed to the extremists of both parties; that his party stood for King and Empire and against Bolshevism or Red Feds; that they stood for nationality and not internationalism; that they believed production was the only source from which labor could be paid, and that without production the workers would go on riding a merry-go-round and get off where they started, and that they stood for the Liberalism of Richard John fieddon.
