A LARGE ORDER.
Sir Joseph Ward, for some inscrutable reason, has set himself the almost impossible task of administering no fewer than twelve different I State Departments. At the present time .he is Prime Minister, Minister of Finance, Postmaster-General, Minister of Defence, Minister of Lands, Minister in Charge of Lands for Settlement, Income Tax, Electoral, Advertising, Friendly Societies, and State Advances Departments, and Minister in Charge of State Forests. One need hardly say that it is a physical impossibility for on& in- , dividual, no matter what his capacj ity, to do justice.to so large a number of important portfolios/ Why is it that Sir Joseph Ward burdens himself with these multifarious duties? Is it that he, is afraid to trust any of the portfolios to other members of his party? Or, is he retaining them on the off-chance of his friend Mr Robert McNab being rehabilitated ?
