WHAT PARLIAMENT SHOULD DO
Sir,—l do not wish to trespass undulj upon your space at this time, but I cordially endorse what your correspondent says about what Parliament should do. Now that the war is practically over, the mind pf Parliament should not bo diverted from the (problems which form the aftermath of war—demobilisation, repatriation, gratuities to soldiers' living, and adequato compensation and provision for the dependants of tht fallen. As to Mr. Massey and Sir Joseph Ward .going Home—is /there any real need? The War and Peace Conference have their views as al.neifiy ex--1 pressed, and Mr. Arthur Ualfoar says the colonies of the enemy, where they menace British possessions, must not bo returned. Is that, not good enough? Then wo' have this epidemic. Without dealing with the small matters that <io not now have •'any hearing upon the war or its after-problems, Parliament has enough to do for .-'the next six months, and thev should nbt be permitted by the National Government to deal .with other than war measures before another general election. Then, with the voice of the people to snide them and a new Parliament, we may get legation in 1-eoping with the electors' will.—l am, PRUDENCE.
