The PRIME MINISTER said that he could prove otherwise. ■ Mr BUCHANAN went on to criticise the Hon. Mr Hogg's speech, and said that he would be better employed in settling Crown and opening native lands than in lecturing the Opposition. He hoped that the Prime Minister would frankly state what he felt himself empowered to do at the Conference. The House then adjourned till 2.30 p.m.
