THE NO-CONFIDENCE DEBATE.

• NAVAL DEFENCE. MR MYERS & THE LOCAL NAVY ■ Jliv 'l'j M. AVILFORD (Ittilt) resumed' flic'''debute on the lio-coilliflcnce motion. Mo said that the Minister of Dcfcnc&Jiad never said oneo in the course of his speech "1 do not believe in a :7 li3oal navy." He would advise meiivtiSi s;- to watch the speeches of Jlin?st#"Wrcfully Tor".any indication that they; di(J. not favour tho establishment r>l,a,,lfli|al navy. His own opinion was that) itywns one of tho maddest schemes cvef ,•entertained or thought of for this country.' Our menace was the menace ■of' Japan; and our best protection from : ; ilivasitiii'by Japan was ilot the Jjuilding iif bat'f.feships or cruisers to patrol our tho continued assured supremacy <if the British Fleet. ■ .He-,(lcchrod that the Government bad •pravcdMready to supply information to tlio ILonsti. Oil the last order-paper at

tho ond of last session there were fifty motions which members had never been given an opportunity to move.

Public Service Commissioners. It had been,said that the Civil Servico were content under. tlie rule of tho Public Servico Commissioners, but this, was not truo. One of tho .first questions put to members of tho Servico being . interviewed by Commissioners was, '.'Do you think you could earn as much outside, the Service as you are getting in it?" If the oflicer replied "Yos," he was'likely .to get the reply, "Why don't you go and got it?" and if lie replied "No," the obvious reply was, '.'Then you arc being overpaid." It was . a very improper question. Ho ?pqko also of a liuiiiber of alleged abuses and irregularities in tho Servico under tlie : regime of tho Commissioner. Ho asked whether tho head of tho State Fire Office had received a bonus amounting to three figures, and whethbr tlio clerks in tho office had also received bomnes: AVas it proper for a Minister to make a vir- : tunl addition to salaries when under tho Public Servico Act- salaries were removed from Ministers' control?...

; Mr. .AVilford also . referred. at some length to Upper House reform. The Snrty on the Government side of. the .ouse, ho alleged,'wero thoro.to help tho big man, and. those on tho Opposition side the small man. Both sides of tho Houso agreed, that what 'was , wanted for this country was ■ settlement, but thoy did not aereo as ~' to methods of getting it. His opinion was that the graduated land tax should, bo increased until'it became a real bursting-up tax.. . Under tho, increase imposed by the present Government a man with £40,000 worth of land would pay only £11-extra tax. His parting shot ivas a statoment that tho local navy for New Zealand was not abandoned by tho Government, but only postponed until tho Imperial Conference of 1915. ' . t BASELESS CHARGES. MR, A. HARRIS REPLIES. Mr. A. HARRIS (AVaitemata) denied that tho Reform Party wero supported only by tho large landowners. ■ Nor was tho statoment made by members of tho "flying squadron" that the candidates being brought out.by the Reform: Party were mostly la'rgo landowners, a true statement. The fact was' that tho right-thinking people of Now Zealand were supporting' the Reform Party. The Opposition I'arty had very gr.eat difficulty in getting candidates at all. The masses of the people, for' whom the Opposition professed to bo so much concerned, had turned tho : party out at tho last election, for the reason that it had outlived' its usefulness. Tho policy of the Liberal Party was always outlined for one purpose, and one purpose only— to enable tho : party to hang on to ofiico as long as possible.. Tho Liberal Party had not helped tho workers to. got chcaper homes. It was left to tho Massoy Government to make the workers' homes'- scliemo effective. In upwards of two years tho Government had.built 232 workers' dwellings, whereas in six years the Liberal Government had built only 210. ' In other woras, tho 'Massey Government, in one-third of the time, had built thirty more houses, and spent on them £20,000 more money. Thß "Red" Allianco. For tho moment tho Liberal Party were trying to get into power by .making an allianco with tho Red Federation of Labour. This alone showed that the Liberal Party woro ready to ally with tho worst enemies tho country had, and ho thought tho workers woro beginning to find it out. Tlio Massey Gov-ernment,-in their short term of ofiico, had done more, ,and passed more really effective legislation, in tho interests of tho' workers, I 'than was''passed by tho Liberal Government iii-'very many years. How had the great-Liberal Government treated, their own servants? Did thoj ! jjot J leave' ,HkS '"wages' of railway siorvants at' a 'starvation, scale? It had been left to tho present Government to increase tho salaries of railway servants by £10QjOOO.' : Tho 1 present Government realised" at'last that tho State ought to be a model employer. Ia spite of strenuous, obstruction by members cf. the' Opposition-, the Government had been able to'pass most of tho measures necessary to gii-o effect to the pledges they had giveli to tho electors.' Before, tho expiry of the present Parliament it was 1 probable that they would bo ablo to give effect- to all tlio.other pledges. If tho Opposition got' into' power by any chance, they'would bo under tho dominance of tho Federation of Labour. Tho representatives of tliat party in tho Houso would bo on tho front benches. And while tho Liberal Party wero holding out the olive branch' to tho Red' Federation, tho Red Federation were repudiating tlio Liberal Party at every turn—a pretty spectacle of tho tail wagging tho dog. ' He believed that tho-. time had not yet arrived for a change of Government in this country. The issue before the electors this year was clear—it would be a choice between constitutional Government and revolutionary terrorism. Tlio people would decide, and jio believed they would decide wisely. ABOVE PARTY. MR. MYERS FAVOURS LOCAL NAVY. Mr. A. M. MYERS (Auckland 'East) congratulated tho Prime Minister on his well-deserved honour. Ho wds glad to agree that the prosperity of the country was undoubted. In part, the prosperity was due ( to /the industry of the people, but we also owed a very great debt to Sir Alfred'Haslam, the inventor of the refrigerator. Referring to the subject of naval defence, ho said that he was not in agreement with very many of the. statements-of the Leader of the Opposition. Ho had mado certain public utterances at Home and in New Zealand, and he saw no reason to modify his views. Defence, he said, was such a vital matter that it should not be treated from a partv standpoint, and in refusing, to, treat it as a party question, lie was only following in the lead of the present, Minister of Finance. Probably tlio;'arrangement made Wvith tho AdmiraltV ,'in; lOOfl./was satisfactory to New Zealand; but when the Admirsity had not ciirriqd out that agreement surely the people of this country wero justified in reviewing tho whole position, having regard to its great importance. Knowing the restrictions on tlio immigration of Asiatics, and that at tlio pi'esent time we aro dependent for our safety oil an allianco with an Asintic Power, surely the time had arrived, iu viow of the activity of nations the world over in building navies, to embark upon a ; policy which would make for the safety of New Zealand. All things considered, ho believed the Minister of Defenco had been justified in nutting on the Statute Book the Act'of last session, blithe regretted to note a certain vacillation in his public utterances. The supremacy of the Imperial Fleet was now being challencod. and the time had arrived when New Zealand should take up her share of (he l.mrdeu of providing fo' Imperial dufonrc. , Must Make the Sacrifice, True, we v ihighl be required to pay mofn For incnuEod safety, but as a solfrespecting people, wo must conclude that it was our duty-to make-tho sacrifice. More and more the fleet was being drawn round the shores of Britain, and the Admiralty had virtually given up all attempt to protect the trade routes, suggesting that- wo rely for our protection on the Japanese alliance. Such a position was not satisfactory. He believed that, tho time had arrived when wo should form the nucleus of a local navy. There should be a small flotilla here, and a small cruiser on which to train our men. He urged that

Tito Government had increased iho sradiiatcd tax, and last year had made a slight increase on tfe" higher inconios, but the Customs taxa-; tion, representing f2 per crtut. 01 the taxation of. tho people, had never been touched.
