MR FRASER’S SHARP REPLY
“AN UNWORTHY SUGGESTION" (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Aug. 10. The Prime Minister, Mr Fraser, has sent the following reply to the Independent Group:— . . " Your telegram received. I regret your premature and ' foolish outburst. The Independent Group, which is apparently Indistinguishable from a party or the People's Party or any other considerable section, will receive the consideration to which it is entitled equally with the older-established parties, and arrangements are being made accordingly, and will be communicated to all concerned in ample time to be taken full advantage of. All the measures at the disposal of the Government will be used to bring political views before the members of the forces wherever they are situated. “Your suggestion that any party ha* sent material overseas, stealing a march upon any other party, Is too unworthy to merit any reply. Your other extravagances call for no comment except to state that it is a pity that anybody should occupy himself with expressing such nonsense.”
