LABOUR SUPPORT

WHOLEHEARTEDLY BEHIND GOVERNMENT PREVENTION OF AGGRESSION. NATIONAL EXECUTIVE MANIFESTO. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. A call to all members of the Labour movement whole*heartedly to support the Government in every effort to plan the Dominion’s economic and social life during the present unsettled period is made by the National Executive of the New Zealand Labour Party in a manifesto issued today. The National Executive, extends to workers in all countries in this hour of crisis the hand of friendship. “We do not believe any problem is solved by a war that will only leave in its train. a heritage of suffering and sorrow,” the statement adds. “Any movement based on the negation of freedom can only be regarded as a menace to the movements, aspirations and ideals acknowledged with complete unity by all political parties in Britain during the present crisis and to the accord of the present foreign policy of the British Government with that advocated by organised Labour. The National Executive upholds the action of the New Zealand Government in standing wholeheartedly behind the British Government and the British Labour movements in their commitments to prevent continued aggression against free peoples.”
