NOT WISHING FOR ELECTION.
Mr. Massey Thinking Deeply. Comments on Possible Combinations. (Per Pm em Association.) WELLINGTON, December 19. Speaking at Feilding, Mr. Massey dealt briefly with the political situation. He stated that it was quite impossible to say what the final position would be, but if his party was unable to carry on it was quite certain that there was no chance for either of the other parties, or for a combination of the other parties, to do so. Mr. Massey said he was not wishing for another election, though personally he had not the slightest objection to it, and he was willing and able to take the platform next day if it became necessary to do so, but the interests of the country came first. Everyone knew that elections meant a heavy expenditure of public money, and were unsettling to finance and commerce, and to every variety of industry throughout the country, Mr. Massey said. Any important step taken would only be agreed to after serious consideration, but they could take it from him that his services, now as in the past, would always be at the service of his fellow citizens.
