THE POLITICAL SITUATION
POOR INTEREST IN CHRISTCHURCH
[by telegraph-special to the star.]
CHRISTCHURCH, This Day
Local interest in the political situation cannot be said to bo very keen. Indeed, in view of the fact that Christchurch has three Ministers at stake, the city is strangely apathetic. The man in the street appears, to regard the Governor’s Speech and the approaching want-of-confidence motion, as incidents in a party quarrel that has been prolonged beyond a reasonable period. Several business men, who were asked to express opinions regarding the speech yesterday, replied that they would rather wait until the position of the Ministry was made secure, and legislation became a probability of the near future. “All I can say,’’ said one man, “is that business people do not want a dissolution. In fact, wo don’t want legislation. I would like to see an arrangement made for continuing the present Parliament along quiet paths.”
