The Premier at Hawera.
[Per Press Association.] DENOMINATIONALISM AND GAMBLING Hawera, April 9. Replying to questions on Monday night, Major Atkinson said he held that presently the colony would revert to denominationalism in a modified form in large centres of population. He did not think the country was yet ripe for a change, but he did not doubt that it would shortly come to it. The totalisator he disapproved of, and public recognition of gambling. The matter had not yet been considered by the Cabinet, but enquiries would be made, and if Government found that the totalisator was the evil it was represented to be, Parliament must deal with the matter. Major Atkinson was interviewed this morning re the trunk railway, but he only repeated what he had said in his speech on Monday evening.
