NEW ZEALAND LEGION
STATEMENT OF OBJECTS [PE* United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, April 6. A statement issued by the National Council of the New Zealand Legion aledares that the primary aim of the legion is to secure the forms of Government, both local and general, which are best suited to the needs _of the dominion. The legion will provide the machinery by which representations can be made and from a national viewpoint. The practice of approaching Ministers and members of Parliament in regard to these matters has proved pernicious and ineffective, and must, be discontinued. -.All members of the legion are pledged, npt to exercise an improper pressure on,_Ministers or members in any sectional, parochial, or party interests' by deputation or other means. The legion will further devote its energies to stemming the demoralising drift towards ■dependence on State aid in lieu of individual effort and private enterprise.
