GENERAL ELECTION
QUESTION NOT CONSIDERED BY GOVERNMENT. STATEMENT BY OPPOSITION LEADER. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. “The question of the general election or its postponement has not been discussed or even thought of by the Government or the Government party," said the Prime Minister, Mr Fraser, when his attention was drawn last evening to a statement made in Dunedin by the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Hamilton, who stated that there was no reason to suppose the election would not be held at the normal time next year. “The country’s war effort,” added the Prime Minister, “is a big enough job for everyone at the present time.” Mr Hamilton's statement was as follows: —“There is no basis for supposing that the general election will not be held next year. Elections have already been held in Canada and Australia, which are at war just as we are. Nothing has occurred to give rise to the supposition that the election will not < be held.”
