THE EMPIRE'S CALL.
It is idle to argue that at the moment domestic affairs are in such a condition that it is imperative that Parliament should proceed with the business of the country at once, remarks the Christchurch "Star." The Dominion will not suffer in the very slightest by a delay of three months, and its interests, in any event, aie wrapped up first of all in the interests of the Empire. There has not been a solitary reason of any weight whatever advanced to justify the opposition to a short and eariy session and an adjournment until September. There ia ample precedent for such an action, ample justification for it, and ample reason for it. We believe that Sir Joseph Ward will carry his . point, but it is the bounder) duty of the House to see that he does so without unpleasantness and with a due recognition of its own dignity.
