CORRESPONDENTS' VIEWS.

PARTY GOVERNMENT. (To the Editor.) May I inform "AMul Haesan" flat as a Nationalist supporter I aa ata*. iiitrly against a Coalition Government; in, fact, if they combined with the pml cnt party they would-certainly lose support-. Evidently you are preying toe a Coalition, eo that the blame for ft» present state of the country cm fe passed on to the National party. bg the Labour Government, now in favov who are the eole c4u«e of the teniMi mess that New Zealand w=. now in, ertricate tbemeelreo. There is no dear. ing the fact that we are in a mess, Ur the Minister of Finance inform* «» that we have lived tieyond our inecme to the extent of £28,000.060 in fow years. tliie in boom times when buttcffet realised not lefie than i/« per \b. ] hate to think what would have lap. pened to all of us, and also to onr «eedcrful country, if the Labour party loft occupied the Trea«nry benchee the depression-years when butterfat «m 8d per lb. Aβ a matter of fact, we W; the depression less theu moet counttim in the world; thank* due to the Geternnient that \rae in power then. Sir instance, we had freedom. We have M fre«lom now in Xow Zealand and an without doubt prisoners. I. for one wffl fight on until we are free citizen; aph. I fought for this country and free** for four yeara and a half during tla ~ Great War. I* there one of the prutat Cabinet who did likewise* Hitler, It* certain, would not be afraid of tfcta. An elephant never forgets their retail ANZAC. Tn reply to ''Returned Ttisker,* mr I say that men vrho reach the poKitiim of leadership are generally more alert than tho*e wiio criticise them. Clewr men can fit tluiiiM-lvtv to roquirementt. The late leader of the Labour party was a man of peace and love rather tfcaa a man posseesinfr the qualities of strife: and hatred, yet when he found hiimdf leader of a fighting race he rose to tie occasion and proved to be an pffk-iet leader.
