POINTS FROM PARLIAMENT
BOARDS AND SLIDES
Many Liberal members of the Rons* of Representatives have lost no opportunity to gibe and chop at boards «et up by the National Government for various purposes (advisory or administrative). Consistently those critics attacked the proposal of a Ministerial Board for the administration of the prospective Repatriation Department. They hacked at it on Friday—but on Saturday a psychological change was manifest. After Sir Joseph Ward's speech in the afternoon there was , a Liberal slide. In the division on this question, the 34 ayes for the retaining of the board clause comprised 23 Liberal, 10 Reform, 1 Labour. The noes (who favoured a single Ministerial'head) included only one Liberal (Mr. Hornßby, who does not attend caucus meetings of the Liberal Party), 21 Reform, 5 Labour.
