ELECTORAL CHANGES.
SOUTH ISLAND TO LOSE THREE SEATS. - (Per Press Association.) Auckland, May 12. Mr, £as; Allen, M.P;, interviewed regarding .electoral representation," saicT he expected the North .Islaiid would' gain at least three" seats from the South' Island as a result of the census. ;lii' order that the South Island may not go on losing seats, Mr Allen considers that after next election Parliament should legislate to provide that while no further reductions in the South shall take place, if the increase in population warrants it increased representation.* may be given to the North. This would entail an increase, in the number of members of Parliament, but it would be the best solution of a difficult problem. .
