THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
STATEMENT BY THE PREMIER. Sir Joapeh Ward stated in an interview with a Press representative on Wednesday that the remarks which had emanated from the South, and were said to be on the authority of "a leading Liberal," to the effect that he proposed to tender his resignation as Prime Minister on February 1-Uh. are absolutely without any foundation in fact.
"I have never made any statement to anyone that would warrant a leading Liberal or anyone else giving currency to such a rumour," he said. "Whoever has made the statement has done so entirely on his own account and without the least authority, as nobody but myself could have authorised such a statement.
"Apparently to endeavour to give some colouring to the rumour, the suggestion is made that Mr Millar is to resign his seat and is going to Australia. Thi3 also is without the least foundation in fact, so that the story has been built up for the purpose of creating a little diversion at the present juncture."
