"WE ARE RUN BY SMALL TOWN POLITICS" CHRISTCHURCH, May 10. "We are run by small-town polities in New Zealand football," said tha president of the Canterbury Union, Mr. J. K. Moloney, at the management committee's meeting to-night. Reporting on the recent annual meeting of the New Zealand Union, Mr Moloney said that the failure of one of the Canterbury union's nominees to secure an appointment to. one of the major offices on the union was due to 'lobbying" on behalf of the nominee ot the small unions. «We did our best, but the fates were against us," Mr. Moloney said. _ Canterbury delegates in their innocence had thought that only SouU Island delegates voted for South Island representatives or. the council, but they were surprised to find that North Island delegates also voted. However, they were gratified that Mr. J. H. Parker had been elected to the union executive. "The worst meeting I have ever been •it" was Mr. Moloney's description of 'that part of the gathering which considered remits for submission to the international conference. "It did no good at all/' he said.
