JOINT CABINET PLEA
i PEOPLE’S MOVEMENT DEPUTATION DEFERRED (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. The People's Movement announced to-day that the deputation, which had been arranged to wait on the Government and the Opposition to urge the formation of a National Government and the postponement of the general election, had been deferred until the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser, returns. The movement stated that as the acting-Prime Minister, the Hon. W. Nash, had said, no decision on the elections could be made until Mr. Fraser’s return, it was obviously better to postpone the deputation until direct representations could be made to Mr. Fraser as well as to Mr. S. G. Holland. “In the meantime, we trust that all those who believe in national unity, will continue to do what they can towards the objective.” An election this year would bring further disunity, and they looked to Mr. Fraser to follow Mr. Winston Churchill’s lead of which, in a recent statement, he had approved so wholeheartedly.
