GENERAL ELECTION
MR MASSEY’S OPPOSITION. “MAY BE FORCED UPON THE HOUSE.” The possibility of a General Election this year was hinted'at by the Prime Minister when replying to a deputation from the New Zealand Alliance at Wellington yesterday (says the Post). Mr Massey said that it did not rest, with him as to whether there y.as likely to be an election soon. He was strongly opposed to an election, because he knew how it interfered with business and what it cost. “If it is possible to avoid an election I am quite willing to assist in that direction, but it may be forced upon the House,” lie remarked. At a later stage during his reply Mr Massey declared, amidst laughter, that he had taken a very serious and keen interest in Parliamentary elections for a long time past. “And,” he added emphatically, “I am going to do it for a longtime in the future.”
