A FREE HAND
GIVEN TO GOVERNMENT. (By Telegraph—Per Press Association) WELLINGTON, December 4. In an interview to-day, Mr Bowden, Chairman of the Associated Chambers of Commerce said the Coalition Government had practically asked the electors to give them a free hand. It had been given and jthe people now expected decisive and practical action. The Chamber would stand behind any endeavour of the Government to reduce rigidly the high costs with which New Zealand was burdened. Commercial men, and men on farms wore calling for action. The people had given the Government a blank cheque and it was for the Government to fdl it in. He said the Government should immediately appoint a national economy commission with an instruction to prepare an adequate plan for adjusting national and local requirements, to the ability of the country to provide the means.
