WHO SHOULD RULE?
ELECTION PREDICTED PARTY DIFFERENCES The opinion that a general election would be held this year, was expressed by the Minister of Health, the Hon. A. H. Nordmeyer, when he addressed a meeting at Bayswater last evening. Mr. Nordmeyer said that he did not know of anything more calculated to split and disrupt the people of the country, than the formation of a National Government. He considered that it would be impossible with two parties whose interests in domestic matters were so far opposed, to agree in a Cabinet.
Mr. Nordmeyer added that if the majority of the people in the Dominion did not want Labour to rule they had the right to say so. In a few months they would be able to say whether or not they approved of the Government's domestic and war policy.
Replying to a question, Mr. Nordmeyer said that in his personal judgment there would be no National Government, and there would be a general election.
