MR. MASSEY'S PLAN
REFORM PARTY. TO MEET
rAfter a Cabinet meeting held yesterday afternoon the Prime Minister, the Right Hon. W. F.Masaey",'. stated that Parliament would be called together at an early date for the purpose' of "ascertaining the strength of parties.' This; will be preceded by a meeting of the Reform Party after the Christmas holidays. Thfe date of the session, which will be' a brief one, lias not yet been fixed, but it is generally anticipated that Parliament will meet at the end of January.
At the present time it is impossible to say whether the Government will be able to carry on. The Prime Minister has received many messages from all over the Dominion urging that another election should be held, but an election will be avoided if at all possible. In any case Parliament. must it called together before it can be dissolved. There is How proceeding a searching of the newspaper files in order to ascertain the nature of various pledges made by different candidates during the General Election campaign, but it is clear that the exact position cannot be ascertained until there is a definite test vote taken in the House.
