OPENING OF PARLIAMENT
SEPTEMBER 22 MENTIONED BY PRIME MINISTER Press Association.— Copyright. WELLINGTON, Wed—Even if, as stated from Ottawa, the closing or the Economic Conference is slightly delayed, this should have no effect upon the opening date of the next sessioii of the New Zealand Parliament. . D . TT,,,. The Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. G W Forbes, said today that although the Cabinet had not so far decided upon the date of opening he thought it would be about September 22 The MonQWajj would leave Sail Francisco for Wellington on August 31 and there would be plenty of time for the two New Zealand delegates to join the vessel and arrive in New Zealand on September 19. The Gov. eminent would have a few days in which to confer with them before the session opened. Mr Forbes said he expected Par. liament to sit about 12 weeks, rising just before Christmas. Some members; particularly Labour, were sceptical' about the business going through in that time, and it was possible, therefore, that the House would resume after the holidays.
