THE HUMOUR OF IT
REJECTED PARTIES
COALESCE
"If. the'position were not so serious we would be. forced to sco the humorous side of it," declared Mr. E. Windlcy, chairman of the Makara County Council, when referring,' at-Mr. J. Thorn's meeting at Porir.ua last evening, to the fusion of the Reform and United Parties. .
"First of1 all the Reform Government was turned out," he said; "then the United Party was doomed if it had gone to' the' country as a party. Yet at the eleventh hour these two parties, practically rejected, formed a fusion, and are now appealing for the confidence of :the country. You must admit it is.humorous."- •
Mr. Windley's-opinion was that the Labour" Party had made a mistake by not joining forces with the Coalition.' Mr. Thorn explained, however, that Labour was not asked to join the Coalition. "Mr.'Forbes wanted a fusion of the "two parties to fight' Labour," he said, "and that is what he has got."
