ELECTION LIKELY
OPPOSITION LEADER’S BELIEF.
“AN UNEVEN FIGHT.”
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day
Speaking at the National Club's welcome to Mr Coates, the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Holland, said he believed there would be an election. “I do not think,” said Mr Holland, “that the members of the Government are prepared to give up their portfolios. It will be an uneven fight. The Government has taken away the radio-., from us. It has imposed a censorship on the newspapers and now it has taken away the petrol from us. The Government’s organising, however, is done by trades union secretaries and they continue to have their petrol supplied. It will be a stiff fight and an unequal one, but I believe we will win through.”
