UNDER A CLOUD
SUPPORTER WARNS GOVERNMENT.
["Times" Parliamentary Special.] ' WELLINGTON, Last Night. "It is idle to disguise the fact that this House has met under a cloud, and that from ono end of New Zealand to the other there is strong dissatisfaction with the Government," announced Dr Newman, who took up the debate tonight. The member went on to say, with his characteristic blunt candour, that there was no getting away from the fact that the writing was on the wall, and that the "Meno tekel" of the National Government had been put in that writing: "We want," he said, "some great and radical change either in the personnel or in the policy of the Government. It is no use to deny the fact of the feeling in the country that the National Government has failed in its duty to push the Dominion actively ahead. For heavens sake bring down a definite policy and tell us what you are going to do, instead of all this piffle in the Governor's speech! I warn the Government. that there is growing and just indignation in this country with the present unsatisfactory state of affairs," added the doctor.
