THOUGHTS OF THE TIMES.
LIFE OF PARLIAMENT. It would not be a necessary consequence of the formation of a National Government that the duration of the existing Parliament should be extended, The formation of a National Government would, indeed, constitute an argument against a prolongation qf Parliament, since it would represent a development which was not contemplated by the country at the time of the last general election. The present saving of an expenditure of £70,000 or so which a general election costs would be of distinct advantage, but, though there is probably very little ground for supposing, as Mr Holland supposes, that the public would be deeply affronted if the election were postponed, the formation of a National Government would render an election desir-
able in order that the electors might have the opportunity of expressing their approval or disapproval of its existence and personnel. -r-“Otago Daily Times.”
