“MOST UNJUSTIFIED”
Sir, —In the argument between Mr Holland and Mr Sullivan, reported in your Monday’s issue, occur the following two contradictory statements by which Mr Sullivan hopes to “ clear Mr Holland’s mind” and incidentally convince the intelligent public of the sincerity of his statements:— (1) Every member of Parliament knows that Parliament itself and not the Government has made the decision as tq the course that is being followed, and that the decision was made unanimously by Parliament, without a single dissentient voice. (2) True, there was no division, as he (Mr Holland) contends, but there were many speeches and a declaration by the Prime Minister as to what he understood the will of Parliament to be, and that declaration passed unchallenged. * Could casuistry go further?—l am, etc., Honesty. Dunedin, January 25.
