PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION
THE CONTORTIONAL SYSTEM."
LABOUR'S VOLTE FACE
Concerning proportional lepresentation, the Christchurch Sun remarks under tlie heading "The Contortional System": "For years the reform has been a broad plank in Labour platforms. It was tested at the last election in New South Wales when Labour secured the narrowest possible majority. The other day, a Labour Conference in the State carried a resolution demanding a return to the lirst-puU-the-post system. Proportional representation having failed to ;jive Mr. Storey a worki )g majority it was of 110 further up to Labour. It is a case of judging by results. cranks are plentiful enough in this country. Some really believe in the principle; others support it because it may improve their shattered political fortunes." J
