Social Security Finance.
The wages tax was expected to produce approximately £7.000.000. the Acting-Minister of Native Affairs (the Hon F. Langstone) stated at the Mangatarere hui on Saturday, which would go into the social security plan funds, together with about £7,000,000 which would ordinarily be paid in pensions. There would be further money to bo found to meet the estimated cost of the social security plan of £17,000,000. The Government would have to find still more money to give the assistance now provided by employment funds, not only to Maoris but also to Europeans. He assured the Natives that the Minister of Finance was considering the point, and the Government's plans would be announced later. The Minister said he did not know any reason for a hold-up in the provision of Native houses other than a shortage of tradesmen.
