WAR REGULATIONS.
WARM DEBATE EVOKED.
ON PASSPORT REGULATIONS,
(Special Correspondent.)
WELLINGTON, This Day.
The Houso sat until the early hours of the morning on the War Regulations Continuance Bill, which eventually was put through the committee stage with minor amendments.
The Labour members made a prolonged resistance to extension of the operation of certain war regulations, including those dealing with seditious strikes, control of wharves, passports and permits and prohibited literature. They demanded a return to pre-war freedom. ...■:' The debate was heated at times.
Mr Massey insisted on the Bill. He said that the passport and permit system would bo abandoned directly other countries abandoned it, but until then New Zealanders going abroad must have their papers. He did not anticipate being required to use the re-, gulations relating to the prohibition of strikes in essential industries and tho right of Ihe Government to take control of wharves, but the power must be retained.
