INFORMATION WANTED
(To the Editor.) Sir,—Comment, is rightly niacje regarding the extraordinary stand taken by the leaders of .the Coalition Government in denying the public more information relative to the high exchange indemnity to date. All appreciate that politics fluctuate with the exigencies of the times, but so do politicians frequently overreach themselves in their schemes, and if words have any meaning, then glibness of speech will not alleviate the anxiety of both town and rural electors.' More frankness on the part of the Coalition leaders would be the best corrective of a growing feeling "if there is nothing abnormal in the figures there is no reason for withholding same." Time will- Boon prove ■ whether Messrs. Forbes and Coates can be weaned from their belief in the artificial increase in rate of exchange; meanwhile the majority must keep on hoping that in the near future wisdom; together with the recognition of economic truths, will be_ permitted to become the mainspring 'of a Government that in the interests of all must be immune from dangerous and fanciful political experiments. Withholding information from those directly concerned merely engenders a feeling of suspicion.—l am, etc., \ ■■ T. A. FEASER.
