Travelogue - round N.Z. with a Commission, 4. Documentary - How a Commission works, Intercommission, 5. "Commission Agent"'. On another notice board are the words 'Coming this Thursday WATT's IN THE BUDGET'. Context - the May budget being presented by Finance Minister Jack Watts in 1955 or 1956. The emphasis on the word 'commission' probably refers to the 'New Zealand Monetary Commission 1955-1956'. The Monetary Commission was a Royal Commission established in March 1955 to investigate the deficiencies of the banking system and to try to display inconsistencies in Social Credit precepts. Social Credit had won 11% of the total vote in the 1954 election which upset political calculations. At bottom of cartoon in pencil is text reading '4 col Leader P. Wed' and 'Stipple (where have I heard that word before?) as indicated'. Quantity: 1 original cartoon(s). Physical Description: Ink and letratone on paper, 380 x 560 mm
