THE DUAL MONARCHY
Sir,—The dual monarchy of New Zealand is at present comatose because its two heads are absent from the country. Because two men'are absent from New Zealand, therefore the legislative machine and many other machines must cease to work. Sir, was there ever such, egotism as the egotism of Sir, Joseph Ward and Mr. Massey, who declare that: eighty legislators receiving each £300 per annum shall not work in their absence? Sir was there ever such subserviency M that of the eighty legislators who tanely submitted to such degrading proposals. In. the newspapers this morning we Mβ told that the Peace Conference will imssli at tho end of March, and the Peace Congress will probably conclude peace >utli the enemy at the end of May. Aro Mr. Massey and Sir Joseph Wal;d going to harangue Europe and the universe genially for four months whilst important alterations and amendments to our laws ate kept hanging in the balance.Cabinet should tit,once ask His Excellency to summon Parliament, issue writs for n general election, and end this degrading farce.-I am, etc., Jum January 28, 1919.
