No Compromise on Liquor Issue
ALLIANCE “STANDS PAT” PRINCIPLE NOT EXPEDIENCY Press Association. WELLINGTON, To-day. When inquiries were made at tlie New Zealand Alliance to-day if there was any ground for the rumours that a compromise had been reached on the Licensing Amendment Bill, the reply of Mr. Murray was distinctly in the negative. H said that if any change in theattitude of the Alliance had been decided upon it would have been announced immediately to the public, for the policy of the Alliance was to place all its cards on the table. The Alliance, he declared, emphatically “stood pat” upon the platform it had fought upon at hte last session, the fundamental plank of which was the bare majority issue, and there could be no change in that policy until the annual conference of the Alliance in May, or thereabouts. It was not a question of expediency, said Mr. Murray. The Alliance was standing for principle.
