MR. HOLLAND'S VIEWS.
(By Telegraph—Press AssodatlonJ W T ESTPORT, Wednesday. Speaking last evening l at a Labour function to. celebrate the Labour victory in Buller, Mr. H. E. Holland, Leader of the Parliamentary Labour party, sail the present position was one of uncertainty, and another election within the next six months was quite within tin bounds of possibility, although he personally did not think it probable. H« thought sufficient Liberals would g» over to Mr. Massey to give him a comfortable working majority. In hb opinion a Reform-Liberal coalition wonM represent the logic of political development, for there was no real line of demarcation these two parties, which must coalesce ultimately, and another election under the present electoral system would only 'result unsihV factorily. Between the two of them and the Labour movement there was a dividing line recognised by all. Tfie mart sensible way out of that difficulty would be for Parliament to meet, put through Supply, enact proportional representation, and then dissolve.
