(By Telegraph.—Press Association,)
NAPIER, Tuesday.
The National Council of the Women of New Zealand to-day passed the following resolutions:—(l) "That this Council discuss the question of peace and arbitration on May 15, and further, that it undertakes to organise peace meetings thrbughout New Zealand to take place simultaneously, and further that these meetings shall constitute the universal demonstration of women on behalf of peace and arbitration, and shall be conducted with the view (a) to concentrating public attention upon those ideals of loving brotherhood which can be realised only by the cessation of national hostilities; (b) to gathering and presenting information respecting the pecuniary cost of war, and the moral consequences and economic sacrifices by it; and (c) stimulating a desire for peace in the public heart, a faith in its practical possibility in the public mind, and a determination to harmonise actual relations between States with the ideal relations which are now expressed in the phrase, 'The fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man,' now universally accepted as a succinct declaration of an actual relationship.'" (2) "That this Council deplores the fact that gambling is increasing among the young people of the colony. It believes that the legislation of the totalisator has done much to foster gambling in New Zealand. It therefore recommends the societies affiliated to the Council to bring the matter of the abolition of the totalisator before their members during the coming year."
