THE COALITION PARTY.
POSITION OF CITY ELECTORS! WELLINGTON, Friday. The Evening Post states that for some weeks members of the Coalition Party representing urban districts have been meeting in Wellington for discussing various aspects of the Government’s policy, particularly those which it is considered pressed severely on the people in the cities and semi-urban districts; The members concerned have not met with the Idea of forming a hostile group within the Coalition, but rather in the hope that it will l>e possible to bring suillcient influence to bear on the Government to cause it to follow a policy which is more likely to meet with the approval of the cities. It may be expected that during the next session of Parliament strong pressure will be brought to hear ori the Government to take some action to bring relief to city electors. . It is considered, in the absence of such action, that the Government might find itself seriously embarrassed In the event of an election. Members who are concerned In the movement do not consider the present the right time to take action that would jeopardise the Government’s position in the House, hut feel they can do good service by working within the Coalition in an endeavour to improve the position of urban electors.
