PRIVATE MEMBERS' ADVANTAGES.
To be a private member of Parliament apparently has. its advantages, even over those attaching to Ministerial rank. "I remember the time when the Minister of Labour.used to say, 'God knows, 25s a week and 10s a week for children is little enough for a widow to live on.' " remarked Mr, H. Poland (Ohinemuri) last night in the House of Representatives. "Has he ever said that since he was a private member? No. He knows this is the only position in which a member can express his views freely, and he is not likely to say the same thing until he becomes a private member again."
