POLITICS OF RECOVERY.
HON. A. D. McLEOD ON ISSUES OF THE DAY. TOWN v. COUNTRY SPLIT POSSIBLE. DANNEVIRKe, August 27. In an interview to-day, on the present Parliament, the Hon. A. D. McLeod, M.P. for Wairarapa said that it could be accepted as quite correct that the members of the Coalition Cabinet were working together harmoniously, but it was well known that strong, yet friendly, differences of opinion existed as t 0! the best means of overcoming the effect of the depression. He did not think grounds existed for stating that any serious break might take place between the political parties supporting the Coalition. If later a rupture occurred he felt sure that it would not be along the old lines of Reform and United, but along the lines of town versus country.
Unfortunately said Mr McLeod, a considerable section of the city Press was responsible for assisting toward a rupture, and political Labour was taking every advantage of the city versus country feeling which undeniably had rapidly developed since the General Election.
In the absence of details of the Ottawa- decisions, he was not prepared to say more than that it would be a pity if all the sections supporting the Government did not unite to support the steps which had been taken to cement the economic unity of the Empire and assist in world trade.— (P.A.)
