A NAME FOR THE COALITION.
ro 'nil'. editor or tiik trkss iSir,- As the .smoke and clust of election time clear away, electors of nil shades of opinion are unanimous in a last farewell to the vicious threeParty system. Tho political pair ot scissors is onco more a two-bladed instrument with no third blade blocking tho cutting operations of the other two blades, which are now free to replace our ragged ness, with respectable clothing. Meantime, those comrades-in-arms, Messrs Forbes and Coatrs, might do-« vise ii shorter name for tho dominunt Party, sonic simple disyllnbic term that would economise valuable ink in the hard times ahead of us. Tho Labour Party keeps its simple and appropriate name, to tho steady accompaniment of increasing votes and representatives. "Conlition" leaders might 11 Nell consider the adoption of a new, simpler name, e.g., "Union."—-Yours, etc., F. .T. ALLEY. December 7th, 1931.
