The- fleot'ioin returns now mak© .it more evident that Mr Massey has • woan a> decisive, victory. He will have iiieaa-ly 50 supporters ;at his . back, withi aill oithei-s oamibined^ saomewhere in the vicinity of 30 1. Natufadly we wish that the position o'l' affadra had boien diffea-ent 3<tnd the Liberals had beera given; a mandate to rebuild New ZeaJaud on Liberal lines, but we believe in acoep'ting the pMlosophical '.view .'aiid.'-getting the best out oi' eveay situation. We reseive the righ,t to ca-itieise, severely if ntcessa-ryj the acitdons'of the Government or a;u.y member of it, but we feel that all sections sliould unite toi push On with tihe developameat of the country. This no time for dissensions amid althoiugh, we do not believe that" ihtj Dominion will be developed as miucdi under Mr Massey as it would have under a Liberal regime, let us unfte to help Mr Massey inak G the best possible use of his term of office.. lie will .by guiided' largely by '-public oipinioai amd public opinion must be a spur to'keep tliei Govei'nnieait putsihing ahead. A vigorous Publici Works policy is- the very life*-breath of this /oouintry atad if this be insistently demanded by public ■ and press then, Mr Maesey with his ■■powerful following can do big things. For the good of New Zealanid and in order to '''get the best out of the present situation every section 1 should, we' hold, bury its differences and unite for tli© ccromon good and help Mr ■■ Massey's preeent- term to be one of mairked pro> res^' ' ■ . ■■■ " ' ' .-. ■'
