POLITICAL UNITY
POSSIBILITY OF REACHING AGREEMENT. PARTIES MEETING IN CAUCUS TODAY. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The prospect of agreement being reached this week between the Government and the Opposition in connection with the direction .of New Zealand’s war effort has been given additional prominence by plans for both parties to hold caucuses today. Negotiations have extended over more than a month, and various proposals and counter-proposals have already been submitted and declined. After a period in which it seemed likely that unity was impossible of achievement, conversations were resumed, and it is understood 4 hat interest now centres on fresh plans for a War Cabinet. Such an organisation would, it is believed, have extensive powers in connection with the control of the war effort, and would have greater authority than the proposed War Cabinet which the Opposition declined to join early in June. Plans are expected to be submitted to the respective caucuses of the two parties today, and an early decision is anticipated.
