Hon. C M Bowden speaks about the government's public funded works including transport infrastructure, farming, housing, hospitals, schools and power. All require funding and are for the benefit of all New Zealanders, but cannot be funded entirely from taxation unless taxes were very high. He appeals to New Zealanders to invest their savings in New Zealand public works as a loan. "You can't lose anything and you have a lot to gain."
