GENERAL ELECTION SUGGESTED
MR, FRASER'S PLEDGE He had an idea that not much would be heard of the legislation prolonging the life of Parliament for the duration of the war, and one year afterwards, said Mr F. W. Doidge, M.P. for Tauranga, in an address at the Civic Theatre, Christchurch. "I don't now how Mr Fraser can avoid a general election because when the War Administration came into being he gave a' pledge that if that Administration did not succeed then inevitably there must be a general election," said Mr Doidge. "That is what he said. Not to honour that pledge would be cheating, but I think you had better ask the Prime Minister what he is going to do about it." Elections had been held elsewhere, and he did not see why New Zealand could not have a general election.
