WELLINGTON; December 2. “New Zealand has .shown itself to be sound to the core, and the mandate which the electors have given the Coalition Government will go a long way towards," 1 hope, an early restoration of prosperity,” - said Mr Forbes, in concluding a statement made after the result. The "light is now wet, and wo can shake hands,” Mr Forbes said. “We can put on one side any of the feelings that may have been aroused by an election contest, and get together again for the purpose of dealing with the difficulties that are besetting the country. There is no doubt that they are real: They affect every citizen of the community, ' and it is only by facing facts and making up our ininds that xvk are going to deal with them in a practical way that we will overcome l them. “The resuhdof the election, to .me is extremely encouraging. The Gov-/ eminent hud 1 "Taken"steps' atong ’the* path of strict, economy, and reduction of expenditure. Such a policy could hardly,' be.expected to arouse enthusi-asm-'ailibffg''the ' elector's’. We were opposed to the Labour Party, which... has promised all sorts of expenditure, and which stated that economy (was not necessary, and that the way x.o meet the situation was not to adjyd expenditure to liieet reduced national. income. We will meet Parliament now with a feeling tliat we have *> definite endorsement of the policy., that we, placed before the electors. I" feel' confident that, facing these difficulties in a practical . way, the Dominion, will, all the sooner, see a return to prosperity. New Zealand is a.; grand little country, and. the fact that the Government has taken the. straight path in dealing with., the na,tional finances will go a long" way to hasten that return to better times.”
