NEW ZEALAND LEGION.
DR. BEGG’S COMMENT.
“VERY SMALL RIPPLE.”
Per Press Association
WELLINGTON, Sept. 20. In an interview, Dr. Campbell Begg Baid the Dunedin report regarding the resignation of the local executive of the legion, was a little misleading. There certainly had been a few dissatisfied members in the Dunedin executive, who had done excellent work in the past but had been somewhat inactive of late. The election of the new executive was due in the ordinary course of events. The incident could be regarded as a very small ripple on the surface of the movement, and Dr. Begg said he was amused at the prominence it had received and the party colour of the paper in which it was first published. It showed one of the parties at least was getting an anxious idea that the legion was getting away from its first aims. This was clever but untrue. Talk was easier than action, however, and when it came to decision old party allegiances died hard.
