EMERGENCY SESSION
HOUSE TO MEET NEXT MONTH IMPORTANT LEGISLATION DUE [ Per Press Association. ] WELLINGTON, Jan. 14. Parliament is to meet on Tuesday, February 23, to pass emergency legislation in order to strengthen the position of the State’s finances. A brief announcement to this effect was made by tho Prime Alinister (Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes) at tho conclusion of a meeting of Cabinet this evening. Nothing but the date of the session was announced by the Primo Alinister, but it is understood that tho legislation that will be brought down by the Government will be highly important. Although it is unlikely that the number of Bills to be introduced will be large, they will have an important bearing upon the future policy of the Coalition Government in its efforts to stem the continued decline in revenue and to assist the primary producer, in particular and the country generally, to combat, the influences of tho economic depression.
