THOUGHTS OF THE TIMES.
THE LATE SESSION. The Labour Party simply refused to face facts, it gave the Government 110 help at all. It would not admit that economy was necessary, it appeared to proceed on the assumption that in our economic- state there was really nothing to worry about, and ft put forward again and again, tbe old remedy of taxing the non-wage-earner, regardless of the combined effect on business generally of economic depression the high taxation. The party is still suffering from the old delusion that there is an inexhaustible supply of wealth somewhere. It is. too much to expect Labour to change its policy next session, to the extent of frankly admitting that when a family income is seriously reduced the family cannot live «.s it has been accustomed to? Next session promises to be studded just as thickly with difficult- problems. -—Auckland Star.
