THE OLD, OLD STORY.
THE END OF THE SESSION. By Telegraph—Own Correspondent. Wellington, Last Night. Tt looks as if the session will not end this month after all. "The party behind Mr. Massey," said Mr. EH to-night, "is the best-drilled, moat, docile, and the most amenable set of men that ever sat on the Government benches. What of the Arbitration Bill that had been promised'.' What of the admundment to the Advances to Workers legislation, of which so much had been made in the Budget?" The Prime Mir.ioier: The session is not over yet, by a long'way. Mr. Ell: We were to get away before the end of the month.
The Prime Minister: You have made that, impossible. Mr. Ell: Here we are fiddling away on a measure like this, which the country has not asked for.
Mr. Massey: That is just what you are doing, 'Middling away." Tn the' course of his reply the Prime Minister complained of the gross waste of time that had taken place during the afternoon and evening. He announced that no matter what obstruction took place, the party had given tlieir word that the (lovern'ment's programme would be put through this session, no matter how long it took.
