Manawatu Daily Times Economic Committee
It is expected that by the end of next week the Inter-Party Economic Committee will have concluded its taking of evidence and that at the end of the following week it will be ready with its report. Meanwhile there is a good deal of speculation as to the attitude of the representatives of the four parties—United, Reform, Labour and Independent—towards the report and its bearing. It would be too much to expect there will be unanimity between these parties, Labour having declared at the outset of the proceedings that it would have nothing to do with any arrangement which interfered with the sanctity of triennial Parliaments. It would be quite competent, of course, for the three other parties, with the war precedent at their hand, to prolong the life of Parliament for a year or any shorter period; but it might be a somewhat hazardous proceeding unless it were supported by a very considerable measure of public opinion.
