No Pact Between United and Reform
SPEECH MISUNDERSTOOD prime minister explains Press Association WOODVILLE, To-day. According to telegrams received by die Prime Minister at Napier, the condensed Press Association report of a speech made by him at Gisborne bas created the impression in some quarters that a pact exists between' the Reform and United Parties. •It is hardly necessary for me to repudiate the existence of any such understanding," said the Prime Minister in an interview to-day, “but to remove the misapprehension that has arisen, I wish to repeat the actual words used by me. These were: •Cooperation of all sections is required to advance the country’s best interests. What we want is to pull together. We want Reform, United, i'nd Labour working with each other. \Ve want mutual trust and forbearance, and not to be each at the other’s throat all the time.’ •'The Press Association report credited me with the statement that Reform and United were working together —a statement I never made, and one with a vastly different meaning from that contained in the views I actually expresed, as X was not referring to the individual politics of any of the three parties."
