“Futile, Inadequate"Wilkinson
[Per Press Association. Copyright ] ELTHAM, This Day. The following telegram has been sent to the Prime Minister by Mr C. A. Wilkinson, M.P.— | “As an Independent member of Pari liament, and one who h,as not taken I part in mass demonstration meetings urging action, I must say that the setting up of an unwieldly advisory council, whose duties would be subordinate to the Cabinet, will not satisfy the people of the Dominion. “Party should be wholly dropped in this great emergency, and a truly National Government established. “Your present suggestion is futile and inadequate to meet a situation involving the life and death of the Empire.”
