THE DAY IN PARLIAMENT
Parting with the Customs Amendment Bill appeared to be such sweet sorrow to members of the House of Representa- •
tives that there was even a chance of their prolonging .the third reading throughout the night. ;;As it was, it took them three and a-half hours to review what had been''done.. Members of the Opposition acknowledged quite willingly the excellent' work done by: Mr. Downio Stewart in seeking to meet the views of.,jnembers on the Tariff schedules. After that the House set to work with a will,' and put through Committed and third reading stages the Forests Bill* the Education Amendrrient Bill (there was another discussion.on the teachers' oath of allegiance), the Native ,Tr.ust Amendment Bill, and the Maintenance Orders (Facilities for Enforcement)) Bill. It was 11 o'clock wJien this was done, and the Prime Minister' proposed.the adjournment. The Leader of the Opposition suggested that the" House "might as well go on and clear the Order Paper. "It is very good of the Leader of the Opposition," said Mr. Massey, "but we don't want to clejff the Order Paper entirely. , We shall probably liaye half a dozen more Bills to-morrow," So the House rose.
