APPEAL TO THE COUNTRY.
In air interview at Christchurch ,<>: i Wednesday, "the Hon. G. W. Russell stated that if the Government was defeated at the coming session of Parliament, an' appeal would be made to the country. This is a piece' o.f "ibluff," pure and dimple. The Minister for Internal Affairs must know that the prerogative of a dissolution rests with. fli:<s (Exeeilfcncy the Governor, and not with Ministers of ;he Crown. . In the event of a vote of moconfidcnce vf be:ng carried against the Government, HIV Excel'leucy 'would mosit assuredly send for Mr Massey. The Hon. G. W. Russe-M knows this a» well as any man cm know it, and his 'statement that' tfere would be,an appeal to'the. country h therefore a piece of brazen effrontery.
