SYSTEMATIC SILENCE.
(Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, this day
The- financial debate has been progressing throughout the week, and Opposition speakers have taken most jot' the time; yet they seem to have completely avoided three of the outstanding subjects on which the Government would be glad to have the opinions of the House. No reference has been made to a proposal to further protect the sugar-manufactur-ing industry in New Zealand. Nothing has been helpfully said about the moratorium, nor can any opinions be heard from the Liberal benches at any rate on the subject of the Taxation Commission's report. It is generally understood that the Government would be relieved of some embarrassment if it. knew how far the Opposition parties were prepared to go with the protection of the. sugar in dustry, but both sections are unanimous in leaving the Government- to make the first move. Discussion on the other two subjects is also likely to be studiously avoided until actual legislation appears. The Opposition members are evidently, not providing' policy pointers for the Treasury benches. -
