Hot-house Politics
THERE seems nothing revolutionary, unfair, unreasonable or impracticable m an orderly suggestion from the Leader of His Majesty's Opposition that new business should not be brought down on a weary House after 12.30 a.m.
Yet "The Dominion," the alleged "Wellington mouthpiece for the Government comes akin to shedding blood because the Opposition Leader "had the effrontery" to talk to Mr. Coates like that.
Too much of this palpably inspired literary (?) vitriol from the columns of a paper that makes the rash boast of being a " newspaper," is really injuring rather than helping the present Coates regime.
They may call the Opposition "Labor-Socialist" if they like — and they simply wallow m that catch-phrase — but irrespective of party or political color it is only fair on the merits to support H. E. Holland's contention that business brought down at such an hour, cannot be treated as it should be.
In addition it carries the harmful effect of premature, ill-con-sidered legislative measures right into the heart of our law to-day.
