Let's have a K.O. in round two?

The great waterfront Lock-out of 1951 is now over - in its [unclear: prellianesy] stage - for the return to work of the unique involved in what will go down in history as the goat momentous industrial at struggle in New Zealand brings about the start of a now phase of that struggle.

The resignation of the Government marks the end of the first round - the sound will be decided in six weeks time at the special General Election.

The call for the resignation of the Holland Government has been, one of the [unclear: leases] at a [unclear: take] in this dispute, and it has been forced on them by the unparalleled solidarity and self-sacrifice shown by the [unclear: watersidere] and their [unclear: allies].

We have said repeatedly that the Government was groggy; that there was a wide [unclear: rift] among its followers (even among the members of Cabinet) regarding the handling of the dispute; and that they could not ignore the [unclear: widespread] protests against the [unclear: legielated] fascism of the so-called Emergency Regulations Their resignation, hard on the heels of [unclear: innumerable] statements about how the whole country was [unclear: solidly] behind their actions, proves the accuracy of our [unclear: accousmont] of the situation.

The Government had committed itself or completely to its [unclear: no] compromise role that it could not even negotiate without committing political hari-kari - the return to work of the involved unions (after inflicting what must be one of the [unclear: heaviest] [unclear: loasen] of profit ever suffered by [unclear: employerdom]) now loads the to [unclear: gramp] at the only straw in sight, in the vague and vain hope that they will be able to [unclear: ourlate] the [unclear: Menzies] Government in Australia and bluff the [unclear: electora] into giving them the chance to continue with their plans to build [unclear: feacism] in New Zealand.

Our task is now clear - we must [unclear: organise] every men and woman in the country to end the [unclear: poraecution] of the trade union movement; to remove the obnoxious Emergency Regulation; and to free our country from [unclear: tion] with the Yankeo war—[unclear: planners] - we have won a chance by [unclear: haltin] reaction - let's make sure of victory!
