GENERAL ELECTION
To-day the people of New Zealand are very unsettled regarding the stability of our present leadership, and if we can have some definite understanding of the voice of the people by an election, whether Labour or National be returned, the majority and minority of either party would know the wish of the people, and whatever the results they would then take off their coats and work with unity. There is no excuse for the Government to-day to say it is inopportune for an election, and it would interfere with war organisation. There would be no need for the hiring of halls, and politicians to scamper over the country to talk professionally. The people know what they want, by what they have seen and experienced. It is necessary only for the selection of candidates, and the printing of ballot papers. Let the people go to the polling booths with their own vision of what they want, and by this alone the war machine or any branch of essentials would not be disturbed, and there would be little or no national upset. LENMITCH.
