LEGION AFFAIRS
NEW DUNEDIN EXECUTIVE. (By 'Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, Thursday. Commenting on the report regarding the resignation of tlie Dnnedin executive of the New Zealand Legion, Dr. Campbell Be<rg, leader of the legion, said it was a little misleading. The stated that the Dunedin executive had resigned owing to a divergence of opinion and aims between it and the central executive. Further, that there was dissatisfaction in the south owing to the feeling that the legion was departing from the original ideal that it would be a non-party body and wile prepared to enter the fleid as a political party, Dr. BcQg said there had been a few dissatisfied inenvbers on the Dunedin executive who had done excellent work in the past, but hud been somewhat inactive of late. The election of a new executive was due in Iho ordinary course of events, and the incident could be considered as a very small ripple on the surface of the movement. The idea that the legion was getting away from its firet aims wae untrue.
