SANCTIONS
Dr. R. J. Tillyard. Chief Government Entomologist of Australia, who arrived by the Monowai from Sydney yesterday en route to Nelson, brought with him a copy of Mr. W. M. Hughes's new book "Australia and War Today" which had been the cause of Mr. Hughes's recent resignation from the Cabinet at Canberra. Mr. Tillyard said that the only differences between Mr. Hughes, his Ministerial colleagues, and the Labour Party were that "Billy" had a clear brain and used it. and expressed his thoughts clearly, so that everybody would agree that what he had written was sound common sense; but the rest of the Cabinet believed that speech was given them to conceal thenthoughts and objected to "Billy" speaking the naked truth bluntly. The Labour Party only quoted part of the book with approval, since they were against sanctions: but any stick was I good enough to beat a dog with.
Mr. R. C. Addison, resident inspector for New Zealand of the Bank of New South Wale?, has left on a short business trip to Sydney.
