POLITICAL PROSPECTS.
LABOUR AND REFORM. NO-CONFIDENCE POSSIBILITIES. [BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.] HAMILTON, Tuesday. Answering a question whether the Labour Party would vote with Reform on a no-confidence motion to put out the United Party, Mr. H. E. Holland, the Labour leader, at Frankton last evening said the party dealt with situations as they arose. Its attitude in such a situation during the coming session had not been discussed. The question was, Mr. Holland said, " would Reform support Labour's noconfidence motion ?" It would be foolish, ho added, to put Mr. Coates back on the Treasury Benches with his record of class legislation and general failure. The result of the last election was a definite pronouncement from tho people that Mr. Coatcs and Reform were finished with. Mr. Coates' defeat was so overwhelming as to leave no doubt of public opinion regarding him. If Sir Joseph Ward had failed to keep his election pledges ho must go, Mr. Holland said. When he did go Labour must i ake charge.
