SEVERE ON SOME MINISTERS.
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.
SYDNEY, April 15,
Mr Charles Wilson, M.H.R. for Wellington Suburbs, in an interview, after declaring that he was a strong supporter of tho Government, said that he was firmly of opinion that the Ministry must be reconstructed. The Ministry had a very strong head, but a very weak tail. He described two members of the Cabinet at least as having such lamentably notoriously weak mental and political fibre that their political gyrations rendered them a laughing-stock' to the rank and file of the party, whose support on a division they obtain, but whose iiersonal esteem they fail to possess. The commercial community now possessed confidence in Mr Seddon. At one time this confidence was not felt. . It was now recognised that though Mr Seddon is a Democrat, he is extremely cautious as to such branches of his policy as affected the commercial world—in other words, he is not quite the ultra-Radical he used to be.
