WHO SHOULD JUDGE?
A MINISTER'S LANGUAGE. BANKERS AND MR. SEMPLE. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Wednesday. In an interview, Mr. V. C. S. Edwards, president of the Bank Officers' Guild, said that the guild had no desire to enter into a newspaper controversy with the Hon. R. Semple. It realised* that such a controversy led nowhere. The facts were that "the guild took exception to a reported statement regarding bankers made by Mr. Semple at Cromwell Gorge, and uttered a protest against what it considered was intemperate language. Mr. Semple claimed that he was the best judge as to wh>t language he should use that was worthy of himself as a Minister of the Crown. "We do not admit that he is the beet I judge," said Mr. Edwards, "and it is .incontestable that he is not the only judge.as to what is right and becoming in his Ministerial utterances."
