FRIENDLY SOCIETIES
GRAVEST CONCERN
The gravest concern that the passing of the Social Security Amendment Bill would put an end to the medical services which friendly societies have-in the past administered to one-fifth" of the Dominion's population is expressed * in a letter sent to the Prime Minister (Mr. Fraser) by Mr. L. J. Retallick, secretary of the Dominion Council of the Friendly Societies, and Mr. J. L.' Stewart, secretary of the Manchester Unity, 1.0.0.F (N.Z.). The letter also holds that, if passed, the Bill would deal a devastating blow to friendly societies and that blow would have been dealt without any consultation with the societies upon the Bill.
An appeal is made for the holding over of the' Bill pending an impartial examination by an independent tribunal on which the friendly societies would be adequately represented.
