Notes

1. Fraser/WN, 4 Aug. 1939, N349.

2. I Fight For New Zealand, p. 29; cf. Barnard’s statements in The Speech of a New Zealander, Wellington, 1940.

3. Barnard, Speech; Wood, pp. 104ff.; Lee/Barnard, 15 Dec. 1939; Lee/WN, 15 Dec. 1939, Lee MSS 441/34.

4. PD, 1939, 255, 130–9, 194–5, 226–31.

5. Summary of statements made by McMillan at Dunedin West branches, 7 March 1940, sent by Bill Clarke (Seaman’s Union) to Nash or Fraser, 14 March 1940, N2318; Barnard. Speech; Barnard/Fraser, 7 April 1940, N.Z. Labour Party MS, 270/31, Alexander Turnbull Library, Wellington; J. A. Lee, Debt Finance for War and Peace versus Democracy, Auckland, 1940.

6. Minutes of Parliamentary Labour Party, 8, 9, 10 Sept. 1939; Olssen, pp. 222–3; Lee, I Fight, p. 29. Caucus had not resolved, as Lee said in Simple, p. 155, ‘to vote for a soldier or ex-soldier if it wanted to’, though if cabinet were enlarged, an ex-serviceman could have been elected/selected. On Lee’s further attack in Tomorrow see Olssen, pp. 220–1.

7. Hawke, pp. 39–40, 63ff.; Lefeaux/WN, 11 Oct. 1939, and other letters, 1939–40, N1590.

8. N244.

9. Letter, p. 11.

10. Minutes of Parliamentary Labour Party, 3, 5 Oct. 1939.

11. Lee/Barnard, 20 Dec. 1939; Lee’s typewritten account of the meeting, Lee MSS 441/34; Simple, pp. 155ff. His account in Simple is inaccurate in one respect: The minutes of the Parliamentary Labour Party, 4 Nov. 1939, show that Nordmeyer nominated McMillan against Wilson, not to be an Under-Secretary.

12. 6 Dec. 1939. See Olssen, p. 227ff.

13. Simple, cf. statements on pp. 156, 158, 175–6; Olssen, pp. 229ff.

17. 14 March 1940, Lee MSS 441/34. The best account of these events is in Olssen, pp. 232ff.
