LONG CAUCUS ENDS.
CONFIDENCE IN CABINET.
STATEMENT BY MINISTERS. (By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.") WELLINGTON, this da v. • The Government caucus, which ended to-day, was unexpectedly long, involving complete discussions on exchange control, housing, industrial development and defence.
It concluded, stated the Prime Ministei, the Rt. Hon. M. »J. Savage, with a resolution of confidence in the Cabinet and thanks for its administrative activity.
"The Minister of Defence, the Hon. F. Joues, was complimented on all sides," added Mr. Savage. "He described what had been done, what is proposed, and the good spirit which seems to be' the order of the day in the defence forces. Of course, he got plenty of advice from members who have seen service, but his explanation of what is being done frequently drew spontaneous applause.
"A statement by the Minister of Industries and Commerce, the Hon. D. G. Sullivan, on manufacturing, covered a remarkable amount of ground, and the progress made is splendid. During the next few days we will be able to inform the public in detail what has been done to promote our industries."
