Government to shelve the business of the country until the return . the Prime Minister from the. Naval Conference in London: — "THE SELFISHNESS OF IT." Sir, —"Only a woman" wrote you the other day suggesting- a "corner in the Town Hall for women." I, too, hope that will be done to enable the many women voters of Welling-, ton to protest against the action of fie Prime Minister in neglecting this country's business. The big meeting will enable women in town and suburbs to hear speakers Whom they voted against for the first, and I am sure after Tuesday it will be last time. Tho voters of Otaki must feel; angry witii their quiet member. Th© poor sawmill hands requiring work and looktna to Parliament and their member, Mr. .Field, to do sometlhirig for thorn must be 'disgusted wiijh things. Tho selfishness of the whole thing is what angers the women of this cobntry. Sir J. Ward doesn't appear to care a rap what happens to anyone but Sir J. Ward. I look upon the shelving of the-country's business to suit one man as one of the most disgracefully selfish actions ever committed by a Government. —I am, etc., ANOTHER WOMAN. June 12. ;. , •;■'•■ ■
