"NEVER CONSIDERED."
COMPULSORY INTERNAL LOAN PRIME MINISTER'S DENIAL. IMPRESSION ILL-FOUNDED. (By Telegraph.— Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, this day. When tho date of the emergency sessiof, of Parliament was announced references made in some newspapers to the probable legislative programme of the Government stressed so strongly the references of Ministers to the importance of giving Cabinet wide emergency powers in regard to finance that an impression was created that the war-
time precedent of compulsory loans would bo revived. This suggestion, when referred to tho Prime Minister, was at once contradicted. "Wo have never considered the question of compulsory loans," remarked Mr. Forbes. "This lias not been one of the things to which thought has been given by Cabinet in connection with the problems on hand. If there is such an impression prevailing it certainly cannot bo based on any Ministerial statements."
