KING GEORGE V MEMORIAL
NEWSPAPERS' PART IN APPEAL PRIME MINISTER'S THANKS Acknowledgement to the press of New Zealand for assistance given in the King George V National Memorial Fund appeal is made by the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. M. J. Savage) in the following letter received by "The Press": "Now that this fund has closed, I desire to convey to the press of New Zealand the thanks of the Government for the manner in which newspapers throughout the Dominion co-operated in furthering my appeal, the public response to which has now reached a total of £88,400. "To those papers which, in their columns, opened lists in aid of the national fund, and to all others for the generous manner in which they gave news space and in their editorial columns urged public response to the appeal, I tender my personal thanks for their great help in a national effort to create a worthy memorial to King George V. "The sympathy of the press toward the form of the memorial will be an inspiration to those who will administer the fund."
