REQUEST FOR SUMMONING OF PARLIAMENT
(P.A.) NAPIER, May 29. The following telegram has been sent to the acting Prime Minister (the Hon. W. Nash) by the Hon. W. E. Barnard and Mr J. A. Lee:— “In view of the situation in the Near East with the War Cabinet practically broken up and without returned soldier representation, and with the Cabinet containing only one returned soldier, and in view also of our lack of full knowledge of New Zealand’s commitments overseas and Empire policy, we consider it urgent that Parliament should be summoned at once so that all the people’s elected representatives may have an opportunity of obtaining information they ought to have and counselling upon and shaping the policy of the Dominion.”
