LABOUR POLICY
INSULATION AND WAR EFFORT. OBSERVATIONS BY MEMBER ■ FOR MASTERTON. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. “If it were not for the insulating policy of the Government, where would the farmers be today?” asked the member for Masterton (Mr J. Robertson' in the House of Representatives yesterday. They and the rest cf New Zealand would have been in the worst economic position in the history of the Dominion, he declared. One criticism levelled against the Government was that it had used the war to put into practice its socialist policy, but Great Britain had gone further than that and had regulated the very lives of the people. Some members of the Opposition did not seem to think that New Zealand was at war but exploited the conditions created’by the war situation for purely party purposes. That was not assisting the country's war effort.
