HARD-HEARTED MINISTER URGED TO PAY OUT MORE
MR SULLIVAN APPEALS FOR MONEY FOR EDUCATION. (Special to the “ Star.”) WELLINGTON. July 23. The picture of the new* Minister of Education having to “ fight like a tiger in the Cabinet lor sufficient money to carry on his Department.” was sketched in the House yesterday by Mr Sullivan. “In the brief period that the new Minister has been in office,” he said, “ I have met with more refusals and rebuffs for very necessary improvements to schools in my district than in any similar period during all the years I have been a member of Parliament, I sincerely trust the Minister will really make a fight for his Department and stand up to the Minister of Finance and not allow himself to be browbeaten (Hear, hear.) by a ferocious Minister of Finance.” The Leader of the Opposition, Mr H. E. Holland: Not ferocious, hardhearted. Mr Sullivan: I hope the Minister of Education will try and soften the heart of the Minister of Finance if he can and get the monfey by other means. I appeal to the Minister of Finance not to be quite so hard-heart-ed. The country looks to him not to be too “ skimpy ” with the Minister of Education.
