FREIGHTS QUESTION.

MR ALLAN'S REPLY TO MR

PEARCE

The Press Association telegram from Wanganui omitted to mention that Mr Pearce, M.P., had urged the actingPrime Minister to cable to the Prime Minister, on the subject. And this was done.

In reply, Hon. James Allen says: "Your telegram of sth received- The Right Hon. the Prime Minister will b© informed about the proposed increase in wool freight. The matter has also been referred" to Cabinet." As the Prime Minister was on the Freights Committee which investigated the question previously, he will be in possession of all the facts and past history- of the freights question.
