NEW YEAR MESSAGE

0 DEMOCRATIC LABOUR PARTY HOPES & PROSPECTS IN 1942. TRIBUTE TO RUSSIAN VALOUR. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, December 31. The following New Year message has been issued on behalf of the Democratic Labour Party by its hon national secretary, Mr F. M. Earle:— Although recent events in the Pacific have brought danger nearer New Zealand shores, I believe this country can look toward the New Year with more confidence in imminent democratic victory than was the case twelve months ago. Ultimate victory has never been doubted, but the recent entry of the Soviet Union, the United States of America and Japan into the war has brought all potential contestants together. The issue is now clean-cut: World Democracy versus Total Fascism. Again, the participation of the Soviet Union in the conflict has sharpened the ideological differences between the two forces. The year 1940 was notable for the bravery of the people of England against the blitzkreig; during the year just past we have seen in five months the heroic Soviet nation turn near defeat into ever-increasing victory. If New Zealand has to suffer attack from an aggressor in 1942—and let us hope it will not—then may these two magnificent examples be our inspiration.

Democratic Labour sends a message of goodwill to all men of the New Zealand forces and to all patriotic citizens and boys and girls. Let us comfort at this time those many who have loved ones serving overseas. May New Zealanders continue to strive for democratic victory to help build a brave new world that will end for all time the pagan exploitation of nation by nation and of man by man.
