POLITICAL.
Wellington, Aug. 14. Replying to a statement published that he is retiring from Cabinet, Sir James Allen states that no doubt the report in this morning’s newspaper to the effect that it was his intention to retire, immediately from Cabinet was inserted in order to create dissension., “I have given no indication that it is my intention to retire from Cabinet, nor is it my wish to do so as long as my services may be of use to the Government or the people in the difficult times which we must face in the aftermath of war.” said Sir James Allen. He added: “It seems to me personal wishes must be put aside and everyone, politicians and others, should render whatever services they are capable of to bring about peace, contentment and prosperity. The suggestion that I am intent on becoming the leader of a new political party is entirely without foundation. There appears to be no very general feeling throughout the country that every effort should be made to secure a strong Government, 'and with this I am in entire accord.”
