GENERAL ELECTION
MR. MASSEY'S OPPOSITION
"MAY BE FORCED UPON THE
HOUSE."
The possibility of a General Election this year was hinted at by the Prime Minister when replying to a deputation from the New Zealand Alliance to-day.
Mr. Massey said that it did not rest with him as to whether there was likely to be an election soon. He was strongly opposed to an election, because he knew how it interfered with business and what it cost. "If it is possible to avoid an election I am quite willing to assist in. that- direction, but it may be forced upon the House," ho remarked. At a later stage during his reply Mr. Massey declared, amidst laughter, that he had taken a very serious and keen interest in Parliamentary elections for a long time past. "And," he added emphatically, "I am going to do it for a long time in the future."
