LABOUR'S " MODERATION."
"Quito a number of the new members of the Reform Party," remarked Mr. H. T. Armstrong (Christchurch East) in the House of Representatives last evening "have informed us that they aro agreeably surprised with the moderation of tho Labour Party. Evidently they had been convinced by Tory newspapers that the members of the Labour Party wero almost sure to havo horns. Tho Labour Party was always a moderate party. It is tho one and only practical' political party in this House.
The Prime Minister: "It has got sheep's clothing on." Mr. Armstrong: "AVo have never advocated a single reform —Reform chorus: "Hear, hear" (laughter)—in this House that is outside tho realm of practical politics. I would ask those members of tho Reform Party who think differently to try for the first time in their lives to take up the policy of the Labour Party and. tear it to pieces if they can." Tho Hon. AY. Nosw.irthy: "Tell us about usehold." Tho Hon. Sir-Maui Pomarc. "Tliat-s as dead as Julius Caesar.''
