NO POLITICAL BIAS
MR. FRASER ACCEPTS TE AWAMUTU ASSURANCE (By Telegraph-Press Association.! WELLINGTON, June 19. The Minister of Health, Hon. P. Fraser, in a letter to Mrs. Swarbrick, of Te Awanuitu, commenting on the recent women’s meeting regarding the Social Security Act, unhesitatingly accepts an assurance that none of the promoters of the meeting had any connection with any political party, but says that the assurance would be doubly valuable as demonstrating an absence of political bias if it could be shown that, apart from any actual party affiliation or association, the promoters were not personally political opponents of the Government, or at least that some among them were actual supporters of the Government and its general policy. He says it must be a source of gratification to the promoters of the meeting and all having the interests of mothers at heart to know that no fewer than 153 out of 179 private maternity hospitals had agreed to assist in extending the maternity benefits.
