MR. POLSON AGAIN.
Mr. Poison, M.P., professes to believe that "the situation at present is fraught with possible catastrophic consequences." But the sure and certain way to bring about those consequences is contained in his reactionary p 1" posal. to postpone the general elections. Tli® Prime Minister has announced a policy which will lower the standard of living of the great ■mass of the people. If the people are to havfl no voice in that matter, then nothing cart stop "New Zealand from going the way of Australia." Mr. Forbes and his erst white Liberals propose to meet the present depression as Sir Harry Atkinson met a similar situation forty years ago. Now, as then, the Poison type approves. But however much the Govern' ment may fear to meet the people, it IS unbelievable that tliey will attempt to set np a dictatorship even with the support of ilr« Poison. J. S. MONTGOMERY
