MR FORBES STANDS FIRM
AN INTERLUDE IN THE HOUSE.
“All the talking in the world will not make any difference,” Mr Forbes said when Mr Holland suggested the postponement of the economic legislation and the wage cuts until after the earthquake problem had been settled. “And we might as well get to business instead of prolonging the session by-a great deal of unnecessary talk.” he added. Mr Forbes met with a smile Mr Holland’s request that the Address-in-Re-ply debate might he interrupted to facilitate the earthquake legislation. “Oh, no,” he said. “We must first decide if the Government possesses the confidence of the House and the country. If not, someone else must handle the economic problems and introduce their own legislation.”
