OPINION SOUGHT.
GENERAL ELECTION QUESTION.
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, April 29. The New Zealand Freedom Association is taking a poll of the community on the Gallup principle, regarding the postponement of the General Election.. Voting papers are being issued >to some thousands of Aucklanders, who are asked to vote on three questions: whether the election should be held this year; whether it should be 'postponed till next year; or whether a National Government, repi’esenting all 'parties, should be formed. Mr R. M. Algie, director the asso'ciation, in a circular letter accompany■ing the ballot papers, says that the survey is being conducted, as far as 'possible, on scientific lines, and asks: “Can we expect public opinion to be vigorous and effective if the people, generally, have no means of saying just what they think on a major question?”
