In tho course of its comments on Mr. Veitch's recent remarks 011 tho Wanganui River service, tho Wanganui "Chronicle" says: —"It was largely as tho result of Jin Veitch's agitation that tho Commission which recently investigated tho service was appointed. No fault conld bo found With tho personnel of that Commission, nor with tho manner in which the Commissioners conducted their inquiries. Yet theiv findings was, in tlio main, favourablo to tlio servico, and certainly failed to reveal anything in tho nature- of widespread dissatisfaction. In the face ef tho Commission's report, it is difficult to regard Mr. Veitch's statement otherwise than as an ungenerous attack not altogether free from tlio taint of personal animosity. That it was mado under tho shelter of Parliamentary privilege makes it all the more regrettable."
