THE GOVERNMENT’S DEFENCE. We are far from suggesting that public enterprises should be made to yield to private interests, but we share the widespread feeling—a feeling which is far stronger among the supporters of the Government than on the other side—that in violation of one of its own maxims the Government has been led to carry public interference too far. Land settlement, taxation reform, and the choice of candidates are three other important issues with which w'e had hoped to deal. The Government should realise that the country is in a critical mood, and that, though there is no "fear of any considerable accession to the strength of the Labour Party on the merits, those who in bad times are always apt to vote* for the mere sake of a change will be particularly likely to do so if the Government seems to take things too easily or to let them drift.—Wellington Evening Post.
