POLITICAL TRUCE
NATIONAL PARTY AIMS
(Special to the "Evening Post.")
"CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. "The National Party must, be kept
alive, so that in by-elections or the General Election falling due next year we shall, not have forgotten the tenets of the party," said Dr. J. Guthrie when introducing Mr. F.-W. Doidge, member for Tauranga, to the National Club in Christchurch last night. The club rooms were crowded, loud-speakers relaying Mr. Doidge's speech to every room.
■ As they knew, there was a truce between" the two political parties, said Dr. Guthrie. They had arrived at the stage when, for the time being, hostilities were almost suspended. "But we have not forgotten our creed and our duty to the country," he said, "and this club, when.the truce is in being, is the only place where we can hold our own meetings and talk politics and hold our party together,"
