"NEAR REVOLT"
THE PEOPLE'S TEMPER
Commenting, in the course of a critical address in Southland upon the reception accorded Mr. H. Holland, Leader of the Opposition, in'his recent Domifiion tour, Mr. J. B. Hamilton, Reform member for Awarua, stated that the people were being appealed to on their present temper, which, bayed on financial stringency, was as near revolt as it possibly could be. They were willing to accept anything, that offered hopes of an improvement^ andl the Leader of the Opposition had consequently been given a very good hearing. Certainly some change had to be made in the direction of giving the producers a fair and equitable price for their output, and he personally intended to direct all his onergies on those lines. If therefore, he could get the opinions of his constituents he would be better able to attend to their needs in Parliament. He was not making excuses for the Government. Some faings.should have been done, while some things would have to be done to retain the confidence of the people.
