MISTAKEN VIEW SUGGESTED BY ACTING P.M.
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, Dec. 7. “The Associated Chambers of Commerce in a lengthy statement endeavour to explain their original mistake, said the acting Prime Minister, Mr. W. Nash, in reply to the statement issued last evening by the secretary of the associated chambers.
“They would have been much more in accord with the facts had they simply said: ‘We were mistaken in attributing the amendment to the earthquake fund instead of to the Earthquake and War Damage Act. We will await with interest the next step of the Government to apply the provisions of the amendment for compensation in cases of disaster occasioned other than by war, earthquake, or fire.’ ” Mr, Nash added that this procedure was being worked out and would be announced at an early date.
