BRITISH-AMERICAN CO-OPERATION
MR F. MILNER’S VIEWS A big question after the war would be that of world reconstruction, said Mr Frank Milner at a meeting of the Oamaru branch of the British-Ameri-can Co-operation Movement. He advocated that the branch should examine the problems as they would confront New Zealand. Various solutions for world reconstruction had been advanced. The churches had their basis, which had been added to by the Atlantic charter, and by the deliberations of about 40 peace societies in Great Britain. Referring to the proposed federal union 6f several of the democratic nations, Mr Milner mentioned that £IOOO had been collected in Auckland for a campaign, and a tour of the North Island was now being made by Mr Harold Thomas, who would later come to'the South Island. In the past not a single Dominion in the Empire had supported organic union, but one writer on the subject considered that unless this were achieved the' Empire would be faced with destruction, andthere .would be no hope for the future.
