A FREE DAY IN FUTURE
"It was unfortunate," said-Sir James Allen, .speaking to a Post reporter, "that the law provided that the municipal elections should take place on j Anzac Day. It was on that account that the Government decided to observe the day on the 23rd. The Government did not want to mix up universal patriotic sentiment with municipal or any other politics. However, we consider the day so important that we propose to reserve' it for memorial purposes, and I feel quite sure that Cabinet will agree to an amendment of the Municipal Elections Act which will leave the 25th April free for the celebration of Anzac Day."
