No State Lotteries
PRIME MINISTER IS DEFINITE Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Last Night. In the House of Representatives today Mr. G. C. C. Black asked whether the art union which had closed on Saturday would be tho last to be run in the meantime under permit from tho Government. If would legislation be brought down providing for the conduct of a State lottery at regular intervals and so conserve within the Dominion the moneys now being sent for investment overseas, the legislation to earmark the profit to be derived from such lotteries for assistance for the unemployed, for public hospitals and for general charitable purposes?
Mr. Forbes said the art union which had just closed was the last of several art unions held by certain sosietics in need of financial assistance, for which licenses had been granted by the previous Government. The Government had the matter of further art union licenses under observation and had no intention of introducing legislation for the conduct of State lotteries.
