WHAT THE PAPERS SAY
The country would gladly give the; university colleges more money provided the State had reasonable assurance of an adequate return in the efficiency and usefulness of graduates. It is just the s'ave doubt that unless the University radically changes its methods this cannot be looked for, which will make welcome an exhaustive inquiry into the whole system.—Wellington 'Times.'
_ Though we realise that an AnlgoSaxon Alliance would benefit the whole world and would strengthen immensely its hopes of peace, we fear that it would be politically unwise for England to depend, at any crisis in her fortunes, on more than sympathy from the Americans.—Auckland ' Star.' Kcmembering the lengthy programme got through, it is finite correct to say that the second session of the seventeenth Parliament of New Zealand Jw.s produced very fruitful results, which, let us hope, will tend to the material advancement and happiness of th» people of this fair Dominion.—Grev mouth ' Star.' It is generally conceded that no Government are perfect, and the Ward Administration, have more faults than some we might mention, but we are convinced that the electors at uext election will he willing to pin their faith to them as the zealous successors of a zealous party—zealous in the cause which most lacks assistance, that of the people.—Southland ' News'. * * • To vote for the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of pounds.on railways the construction of which could very easily wait for another ten years - and then to get up and loudly hemoar the extravagance of the Government is but another example of the political hypocrisy for which the Opposition havf now gained so unenviable a notoriety.— 'Marlborough •Express.' * * * If our defence forces are to be liuiH up to that stage of efficiency that will make them of any value to the country in time of need, should that time ever arise, irritating interferences such as those which occurred at Lvttelton should cease.—The 'Dominion.''
