Letter to "Dominion"

Sir,

—On the question of Social Security a young supporter of the Labour Party said to me recently: "The old people are entitled to live in luxury. My reply was: "The old people are entitled to what they have earned. That being my view of Social Security, I have gone on strike. I am leaving today after having tried this country for seven years. I prefer the land of lions and millionaires where the natives are turning Christian rather than this country where the young people are becoming pagan

"I doubt whether any party has ever had a system of organisation so complete in its activities stretching through every walk of life." Mr. Hamilton said: "It is becoming more and more realised by the people that our party has no axe to grind and is not sectional in any of its aims. It stands as the spearhead of the fight for good government, for all the people as against bad government—government that is class conscious".
