landslide vote The rightofcentre National party ousted the leftofcentre Labor party in one of the biggest swings in recent times National party leader Robert Muldoon provocative abra sive counterpuncher in his own phrase potential dictator in the view of his opponents was widely credited with large share in the fighting cam paign which gave National its sweeping victory After year of office Na tional has lost ground in public estimation according to opinion polls and the 55year old Muldoon has also declined in public support People either admire him or hate him no one is neutral toward him But the striking point is that Labor has also lost public sup Festival lasts 43 days ALLAHABAD India AP Nearly million Hindu pilgrims seeking salvation bathed in the holy waters of the Ganges River today opening 43day religious festival held once every 12 years The festival called the Kum bh Mela is believed to be the largest gathering in the world More than 10 million bathers are expected on Jan 19 con Sidered the mostauspiCious bathingday As the lull moon gave way to dawn proceSSions of pilgrims chanting prayers to the accom paniment of flutes made their way to the confluence of Indias two holiest rivers the Ganges and theJumna Mtglhon port according to the polls and former prime minister and now Opposition Leader Wallace IS Bill Rowling has lost at least as many admirers as Prime Minister Muldoon While some people applaud him as more temperate balanced politician than his National party rival others criticize him as in effective and unable to capital ize on the indiscretions of the prime minister The year has been marked by bitter personal attacks on the personal lives of members of Parliament bickering and strife in the House of Represen tatives and level of animosity which has tended to over shadow the maJor political issues The only political figures who have grown in stature are MPs who have criticized the present political system and members of parties not represented in Parliament Chief gainer has been Bruce Beetham leader of the Social Credit movement party which has contested suc cessive elections but which is not represented in Parliament Ostensibly monetary reform movement Social Credit has given successively less promi nence to this aspect of its pol icy and Beetham has won more admirers as conlidence in the two parties in Parliament has declined Perhaps the strongest plank in the National platform in the last election was its claim that it would lead the country to eco nomic recovery after the ad mitted difficult Situation in which Labor left it But the slowness of economic recovery abroad has made the gomg hard DefiCIts in the overseas bal ance oI payments have declined but still are formidable ln flation has declined little but still is well into double figures price and wage freeze has done something to hold the situ ation but there is likely to be new spiral upward this year One of the issues most in fluential in the National victory year ago was an undertaking not to interfere in sports con tacts abroadto keep politics out of sport This resulted in the New Zealand Rugby tour to South Africa which in turn brought the African boycott of the Montreal Olympics in pro test against New Zealand pol icies Mounting evidence of the weight of world opinion and the prospect of further boycotts of New Zealand in world sport has brought change of opinion within the country The Labor party claims that in less than year National has brought New Zealands good name into dis repute SEEK CONSOLATION National politICIans like sen ior statesman Sir Keith Hol yoake and Deputy Prime MlnlS ter Brian lalboys have engaged in rescue missions to explain in world counsels that New Zealand is multiracial society strongly opposed to apartheid Although Prime Minister Muldoon denies that there has been any change of policy in practice the govern ment is bringing good deal of behindthescenes pressure on sports bodies to avoid provocative sports contacts With South Africa Severe restraint on immigra tion and campaign against overstayersmigrants from the PaCilic Islands who remain illegally in the country after the expiry of work permitshave brought tension with island na tions of the South Pacific Early this year pioneering superannuation scheme for ev eryone over 60 comes into ef fect This will pay 70 per cent of the average wage to all mar ried couples irrespective of in come or circumstances With further inflationproof rise to 80 per cent in 1978 with smaller percentage payment to single superannuitants The National government does not have to face an elec tion until the end of 1978 and given reasonable recovery in the world economy next year it hopes to be able toshow prog ress in coping with inflation and balanceofpayments problems In spite of adverse public opinion poll verdicts on the leadership of Prime Minister Muldoon he remains firmly in command Rowlings
