.■• "That,- the conflict .now raging' will have an'effect on the operations of the various clubs during the coming season is apparent,-and already reports indicate that many of our members have responded to the call of national duty. To them we offer bur congratulations and express the. hope that, whatever task is allotted them in the effort to free the world from the operations of the aggressor nation and to restore to humanity its right to live its own life in peaceful occupations, it will be performed in that same spirit of devotion to duty that has characterised our members in their work for the association, y "To the New Zealand Government we pledge-our fullest support, realising as we do that-the fight today is one of right against might, and that everything possible must be done', and personal sacrifices made, to.ensure the final success of the forces 'that are, and will, be fighting against tyrannical oppression of the smaller nations of the world.
