-By Telegraph— Copyright).
WELLINGTON, Monday. ' "Replying to criticism directed at thd appointment of the Economists' Cbmmittee, the Hon. G. W. Forbes. Prime Minister, explained the work of the economists and that of the Royal Commission. The latter had Bbbn appointed to investigate the State 'expenditure in detail, whereas the economists would repbrf ' on the Wider aspects of the economic problem. • ... ... " It was said by some" that the Government should make its own deCisions, but so much was at 's'take as a 'result of the alteration in exchange that the Government felt that it shbuld have the benefit' of expbrt advice and move slbWly. If the' GoVefnriient came to a quic'k "decision, which. la'ter was f ound wrong and detrimental to the eountry, criticism1' would be justified, and the G'ovefriment would have to accept the criticism. , 4' Questioned whether5 the report of the economists w'ould be niade ' puhlic, Mr. Forbes replied in the affirmative, dnd said it would prohahly be inade a' Parliamentary paper in the ordinary way. He saw no reason why the reeommendations of the economists shbuld not be made known to the general public.
