PARLIAMENT'S INDECENT HASTE

Dear "Truth." — Three months of the session has gone and one of the main things Parliament has to deal with, Viz., the price of the people's foodstuff, is BUII m abeyance. Why this haste to close the doors of Parliament before this Important matter is dealt with thoroughly and finally. Members of the House should at once get to work and insist upon the whole of the evidence which was taken before the Foodstuffs Commission being immediately laid on the table of the House for members' perusal, go through it, and Insist upon National Cabinet Hotting up a Limitation of Food Prices Board m order to regulate the prices of the people's foodstuffs. A couple of hours' discussion and a Board composed of, .say, Sir Joseph Ward. Dr. Newman. Hon. J. T. Paul, R. Fletcher, Hon. A. M. Myers, and A. H. Hlndmarßh, would give the people confidence, deal with the matter at once, and thereby assist the general public, who are sacrificing right and left m order to find money for the war, and tho equipment of its soldiers. lam sending a copy of this letter to the "livening Post." — Yours, ote.. CITIZEN. Wellington.
