NEW ZEALAND ALLIANCE
A special meeting of the New Zealand Alliance Executive was held yesterday afternoon, when the following resolution was adopted:—"That in view of ■ the urgent need' for economy and efficiency in order to win. the great war in which our nation is engaged—a need which has been stressed by the Prime Minister of Great Britain and by our own Prime Minister, as well as by military authorities and business men—this executive learns with satisfaction that the Govern-, ment in the War Regulations Bill proposes to deal effectively with the practice of 'shouting' ov 1-ieating.' It deeply regrets, however, that despite the presentation of petitions to Parliament containing one hundred thousand signatures in favour of the early closing of hotel bars, there is no provision in the dealing with this subject. It views "rith alarm the decision of the committee *to which the petitions were referred, to adjourn, for nearly a fortnight the consideration of one of the most urgent matters now before- Parliament; and calls upon all those who do not desire to see the question shelved to take prompt action with a, view to inducing Parliament to pass the necessary legislation forthwith."
