PROFITS DECLINING
ART UNIONS IN THE DOMINION.
MINISTER PREDICTS THE END. .'Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. “It is only a matter of time, in my opinion, when art unions will ‘peter out,’ ” said the Minister of Internal Affairs (Sir Alexander Young) in reply to a request by the Dominion Executive of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. He said he could give no promise of substantial assistance from art union proceeds. The profits had fallen from £14,000 to below £SOOO, and the last one showed a profit of only £4363. He had been giving all the funds from art unions to the relief of distress, but the profits had! been steadily declining. The Minister of Agriculture (Mi; CL E. Macmillan) said he wondered whether the decline was due to people thinking the prqfaeds ought to, be distributed' over a wider field than the relief of distress.
