Holland, Leader of the Labour Party, at a complimentary social tendered here last right to Mr F. W. Schramm, the Lab our candidate for Hamilton at last election. In giving this advice, Mr Holland said that this did not mean that fh.l Labour Party contemplated using its balance of power to precipitate an elee tion. It simply meant that Laboui should be ready if an election came at short notice. The present position of the Parties in the House, he said, was unsatisfactory. one s al in any month what the next month would bring forth.
