OFFICE SEEKERS,

One of the strongest arguments in favour of removing both the Pol' p.; Force and the civil service generally, a,-; hi" as possible, from political control came from Mr Millar, of Dunedin, though, strangely enough, he declared his disbelief in the existence of undue pressure by politicians, and expressed his opposition to the handing over of the control tc independent officers. Yet Mr Millar admitted that he had no fewer than 800 application on his books at the present time for billets. "For the Police Force?" asked a member. Mr Millar replied in the negative,

but stated that in spite of this he would not be prepared to hand over the civil service to any irresponsible board. While some Government members denied the existence of political influence, others declared that there was no harm in it, and one member appeared even to glory in it.
