Reply to Baptist Ministers ART UNION NOT RUN BY SPECULATORS. WELLINGTON, November 8. The statements that were made recently before the Minister of Internal Affairs, by . a deputation of Revs. J. J. North and J. K. Archer, were replied to by Air .R. Darroch, at the drawing of the Cancer Campaign Art Union on, Saturday evening.,.- Aft Darrock stated that the deputation, said that-, tho Art Union was .'not'been, run by dotetors or by thfe Cancer Campaign Committee, but by, a group of speculators ? who were acting in their, own. interests). Mr Darrtoch said that'this

statement was not only unfair, but incorrect. The organisers and. advertising agents were appqinted by the Cancer Campaign! Cdjmmjrttiee. After the ‘Committee li'iad been advised by the Go|vermn.cnt that; a permit'would be granted four eminent medical men, Sir Lindo Ferguson,' Dr J. S.' Elliott, Dr. H. T. D. Acland and Dr,. Kenneth AlacKcnzie accepted the positijon. of Trustees, and •. the Cancer Campaign CQzmmittee supervised the • conduct of the Art Union. The two Reverend gentlemen had made av- unwarranted reflection upon all of those connected with the Cancer Campaign Art Union “which I,think,” ■ he' said, “was most regrettable. ’*■
