POSITION OF MR FLETCHER.
NOT LEAVING UNITED PARTY. WELLINGTON, Sept. 13. “There-is not the slightest truth in it,” declared Mr J. S. Fletcher (United member for Grey Lynn) when his attention was called to a rumour that, arising out of his stand in the House of Representatives on Wednesday night, he had definitely decided to leave the Government Party and adopt the role of an Independent. Mr Fie teller said he had made his position clear in the House. The Government would not have his support if it failed to tackle problems because they were big. That did not mean that he was leaving the United Party. “The main consideration in my mind is the prompt relief of unemployment " Mr Fletcher added, “and I am determined to use every endeavour to help the Government to arrive at an early solution. An attempt at this must be made by the Government, and made quickly.” Mr Fletcher has received telegrams from numerous constituents congratulating him on his stand.
