Waikato River Bill.

To the Editor. Silt,—Mr A. G. C. Glass in his letter re the above, published in your last issue, is hardly fair to tho Hon. tho Prime Minister. He writes:— " Tho Hon. Mr Massey promised to see the Bill through, but failed to appear." He might have added tho reason why Mr Massey failed to appear. On tho morning before the Bill was to come up before tho Committee I met Mr Glass in the lobby of the House, and he suggosted to me that we should relieve Mr Massey of any responsibility in tho matter. He gave his reasons, which were excellent ones, and I cheerfully concurred with him. Had it not been for this, thero is no doubt that tho Prime Minister, who is at least no promise-breaker, would have attouded tho meeting of tho Committee.—l am, etc., Hen it v E. R. L. Wily.
