Mr. W. D. Hunt, in a. statement to the Press, disclaims all knowledge of a reported movement to form a new political party, with which his name has been connected. He says that he has neither the time,' inclination, temperament, nor qualifications for a political career, and that, it •would be impossible for him to enter Parliament, even if a constituency were agreeable to his doing so; he does not wish to meddle in any way with party politics or intrigues. Mr. Hunt says his personal impression is that there is already one party too many in the House of Representatives, and that the three-party system, instead of increasing the opportunities and the usefulness of the private member, rather lessens them, and clearly does not add to the_ consistency and efficiency of the administration. He does not share the fear that the restoration of the twoparty system will bring irresponsible Labour into power, but considers that doubtless in the evolution' of politics, a Labour Party sooner or later will have its turn, but if will be a sane, loyal Labour Party, pledged to constitutional method* and veptesenttitiva of a majority compoe.ed of nil thg classes.
