NECESSITY" FOR A STRONG GOVERN. MENT. (Past Uwrnro Pawis Asboczatxcw.) PALMERSTON NORTH, June 20. Speaking at the A. and P. Association smoke concert last night, Sir James Allen, in urging that a strong Government was needed, asserted that the times ahead of us were momentous and as serious as those through which we have just passed. There must be a little moro give-and-take. Referring to the problem of industrial unrest the Minister said that, were we to have a chaotic state of tilings, with the balance of power in the hands of one section of the people only, then goodness only knows what would happen during the next four years. Ho hoped, whatever Government was elected, it would be courageous enough to find out the right path and unhesitatingly sticlc to it. Sir James Allen also pointed out that the New Zealand Parliament had a good name for honesty of purpose, and he did not think any other country had put up the record that the dominion had within the last four or five years with regard to finance. In other countries there hod been monv scandals wito regard to finance. "
