PARTY WARFARE
SHOULD BE DISCONTINUED IN ;. COUNTRY'S INTEREST.
(BI TELEGRAPH.— ritESS ASSOCIATION.?
TIMARU, 19th May. Interviewed on the political situation, Mv: F. J. Rolleston, M.P. for Timaru, said that the work to be done by: the people's representatives in Parliament was too serious and important to justify a continuance of « old' petty squabble's and party warfare. Unfortunately, in the present system of politics, party and personal interests were in danger of running counter to the best interests of the country. He could see no hope of any coalition between the present parties. The only tiling that would clear the air would be another election, at which it was to bo hoped that tho ■electors would have a chance of saying whether they preferred the interests of the country put .before those of any party. As to the next session, it was impossible to make aiiy forecast. The ordinary uncontentious business of Parliament could be made to last for three months, and it was possible that members would prefer to let the session run on under the guidance of'the new Prime Minister until at least the winter was over. No one, least of all those representing large and scattered constituencies, would wish for an election in the depth of winter.
