An October Election.
“Before October is out, if I am any judge, there will be a general election,” said the Minister of Finance, the Hon W. Nash, speaking at Petone last night. People would be asked whether they were satisfied with what the Government had done in the last three years, or whether they wanted to return to the old order. Personally, he had no doubt about the result. Mr Nash said that he would be away from his electorate in the heart of the campaign. “They’ll say that the Post Office Savings Bank is going to be ruined; they’ll say that you won’t be able to get your money out; there will be scare stories from London; they’ll tell you that the social security legislation is not going to be put into operation,” he said, appealing to supporters of the Government to work on in the face of opposition.
