HOW THIS CHANGE?
The observation of the Minister of Native Affairs that the Prime Minister was a different man when ho came back from the Imperial Conference caused Mr. AY. E. Barnard (Labour, Napier) to speculate last night as to the causes of the change. Mr. Barnard said that tho Minister's observation was certainly intriguing. Tho Bill before the House afforded some evidence of the change in Mr. Forbes. "I wonder if the Prime Minister will tell tho House and the country what influenced him most in his travels abroad. AVo know that the Prime Minister met Mr. Kamsay MacDonald, and also that he was a fellowvoyager with Mr. Scullin, Prime Minister of Australia, and wo may bo sure that as Minister of Finance he met Mr. Snowdeu, the British Chancellor. Did he discuss the Dominion's plight with Mr. Snowdcn? If so, I wonder what advice Mr. Snowden gave him. Or did he meet Mr. Norman, of the Bank of England? I am sure tho people of New Zealand would like to know what caused the change of mind in the Prime Minister."
