CANDIDATE APPLAUDED
LABOUR POLICY CRITICISED (By Telegrapn.—Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, Thursday An audience of some hundreds applauded Mr M. E. Lyons, National candidate for Christchurch South tonight. He replied to six Cabinet Ministers and three other visiting Labour Party speakers who have supported Mr R. Macfarlane, the Labour candidate. Mr Lyons told his audience that the Labour Cabinet's house was now falling about its ears, and that the financial structure of the Dominion was shaking like a pack of cards. This, he said, was due to the policy the Labour Party put into operation in an attempt to keep some of the extravagant promises made during the election. The campaign in the 1935 election, he said, had been one of the most heightened pieces of false pretences ever put across in this country, as the people could now clearly see.
