GOVERNMENT'S POLICY.
DISCUSSION BY CABINET. PREPARATION OF BILLS. WELLINGTON, February 14. A full meeting of Cabinet was held this forenoon and afternoon to discuss the Government's financial policy, which is to be embodied in one of the first Bills to be presented to Parliament. No detailed statement of the Government’s monetary policy will be issued before the legislative measure giving effect to it has. been introduced. The Prime Minister, the Hon. M. J. Savage, at the conclusion of the Cabinet meeting this evening, said that consideration had been given to the Government’s financial proposals and also to other matters, including several administrative questions. "No details can be given just now,” Mr. Savage explained, “but it may be said that we are in the last lap as far as the. preparation of vital legislation is concerned. When the new Parliament is summoned to its first session it will not be necessary for members to sit and look at each other, patiently awaiting the introduction of Bills. A programme of important legislation will be ready for them.”—(P.A.)
