COMING OF DEPRESSION.
]VO WARNING BY REFORM.
LABOUR'S THREAT "NOT NEW."
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
CHEISTCHURCH, this day.
In an interview to-day, the Prime Minister, the Rt, Hon. G. W. Forbes, denied the truth of tho statement made by the Leader of the Opposition, tho Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates, here yesterday that the present Government ihad been warned by the Reform party in 192S that dangerous flays were ahead. Reform, said Mr. Forbes, was in office in 1928, and, judging from its actions, nothing was further from its mind than thoughts of a coming financial depression. The United party had to take over the Reform deficit when it assumed office. Commenting on the statement T)y the Labour leader, Mr. H. E. Holland, regarding forcing tho Government to go to the country, Mr. Forbes said this was nothing new. Labour had consistently -voted against the Government since the commencement of last eession.
