The Upper House. Speaking in the Budget debate in the House of Representatives yesterday, Mr Dickie (Opposition, Patea) said the Legislative Council should be put out of existence or be elected by the people—a proper democratic method. Mr Meachen (Government, Marlborough) retorted: “For many years Labour was not represented in the Upper House. Times have changed: we find a Labour majority there and the Opposition is therefore complaining.” Social Security.

Speaking in the House of Representatives yesterday of the Opposition’s attitude to social security, the member for Masterton (Mr J. Robertson) said it had required a world war and the recognition by all the United Nations of the importance of economic security for all peoples to enforce a change of heart in the National Party, which no longer found it expedient to oppose social security.
