The Licensing Bill.-—The Dominion executive of the New Zealand Licensing Reform Association yesterday expressed disappointment at the manner in which the licensing legislation had been approached by the Legislature, the failure, in the association’s opinion, being due to the prohibition party in extracting from candidates at the last general election hard and fast pledges, and so preventing a largo number of members from exercising their judgment in the interests of the Dominion as a whole. While unable to agree with the original provisions of the bill, the association placed on record its appreciation of the Prime Minister’s desire to effect measures of real reform, ami expressed admiration of Mr Coatcs3i strong stand to save the Dominion from prohibition on a bare majority or a catch vote. The association hopes political parties will not permit official candidates to pledge themselves to outside organisations on matters not contained in their own party platforms. It is gratified at the retention of the third issue.
