POLICY SPEECH.
Sir Joseph Ward's policy speech, in extension of the announcements, which he made at Upper Hutt recently, will be delivered at Invercargill next Saturday night. In his speech, the Prime Minister will deal with the financial position of the country as disclosed at the 81st March. So far the accounts have not been made public in the Gazette, but it is understood that while the revenue of the country is entirely satisfactory, there has been a considerable increase in expenditure. The Prime Minister is expected to make a more detailed statement with regard to the reorganisation of the . State Departments and the retrenchments that will result from the operation of the Government's decision. The Agricultural Department, one of the largest and most unwieldy, is particularly concerned. So far Sir Joseph has said little about this branch of the service, but it is clear that great changes will have to be made, and important announcements are expected in connection with the carrying on of the State farms. It is highly probable that some of the branches of these institutions will pass out of existence.
