ESTIMATES DEBATE
LEGISLATIVE VOTE PASSED Press Association WELLINGTON, Tuesday. The House of Representatives went into Committee of Supply today to deal with the Estimates, and consideration of the vote of £90.000 for the legislative departments was resumed. The Prime Minister, the Hon. G. W. Forbes, said he regretted as much as anybody that the financial stringency had prevented the Government from assisting the Royal Life-Saving Society and the swimming associations as formerly. He would be pleased if financial conditions improved sufficiently to renew the grants. Mr. W. Nash (Labour —Hutt> urged the Prime Minister to endeavour to make some arrangement relating to reciprocal pensions when at the Imperial Conference, and to ask the Australian Government to ratify any such agreement. Mr. W. D. Lysnar < Reform —Gisborne) said at a time like the present the Government might have been well advised to have recommended a 5 per cent, salary reduction throughout the Civil Service. The vote was passed .
