TO ALLEVIATE DISTRESS
PROFITS FROM ART UNIONS
ROTORUA, This Day. “I have decided that while conditions remain as at present and people are suffering, any profits from Art Unions must go towards alleviating the distress of those poverty stricken people,” announced the Minister of Internal Affairs (the Hon. W. E. Parry) in reply to a request by settlers of Ngakuru for a grant from tlie proceeds of an Art Union to assist in the erection of a ball in the district. Mr Parry said that until the Government could introduce legislation which would improve conditions throughout the Dominion those in distress must be assisted and that would be done by the allocation of the profits of Art Unions for that purpose.
