THE HON. J. A. MILLAR.
Tine Hion. J. ,A. Millar, ex-Minister for 'Railways, lux's defined hi® position pretr ity clearly, lie is evidently smarting •under the indignity cast upon him •when the selection of a successor to Sir Joseph Ward was being discussed. •It! is well-known that one of the Labour 'Party declared his intention of voting- against the Government if Mr ■Millar (became iPnme Minister, and that it was on this account that, the imemlber .far Dun-edm Centira)l did not go to t'he iballot. Mr Millar is perfectly -right in his contention that a Government which depends upon the Labour party 'far its tenure of office should retire into honourable apposition. In tihe opinion of Mr Millar thei'e are only two courses cpein. There must either .be- a fusion of the moderates in the two great parties, or another appeal to the country. The majority of |t!he middle-class people, who really licounit at the polls, would prefer the ! former course, as it is considered that I by this means alotre can a Government be secured.
