Mr. O’Regan and the Legion

sj r _ln your paper of Friday. Afareb 9 there appeared a letter signed "1. J. O'Regnii.” I wonder if this is the same Mr P J. O’Regan I once heard speaking in AVellington some 20 years ago? AVhen 1 heard my Air. O Regan of 20 years ago he was very decided m his opinion that proportional representation and single tax was the formula that would hurry up a political and economic niillenium for all. for once, and for good. If the Air. P. J. O’Regan of long ago and the Mr. P. J. O'Regan of to-day are one and the same, one might fairly askwhy this formula has not produced the "’'in'tbe arena Air. P. J. O’Regan still shouts he has had 29 years’ start on the New Zealand Legion leader, Dr. Campbell Begg. Air. O’Regan, so far as I know, has done for New Zealand nothing. Dr. Campbell Begg in one year has done much. He has aroused New Zealand out of its apathy; he has convinced most of the New Zealand electors we cannot continue as we have been going on for the past 20 years He has formulated a policy that will help to extricate us from the economic morass in which we are bogged. And he has done it in a vear. In the face of these facts, Mr. O'Regan solemnly declares of the New m1!III(1 Legion: “The mountain has brought forth a mouse.’’—l am, etc ’j loUf .
