FIVE MILLION CLUB
FIRST DOMINION CONFERENCE FOURTEEN BRANCHES REPRESENTED [By Telegraph—Press Association] WELLINGTON, This Day. The first Dominion conference of the Five Million Club was held to-day, \he Hon. W. E. Barnard, Speaker of the House of Representatives presiding. Representatives from fourteen branches present were welcomed to the city by the Mayor, Mi* Hislop, who congratulated Mr Barnard on the steps he had taken in the movement, the energy he had displayed, and the way he had gone round the cities to stir up the people to the necessities facing them. The organisation was not a mere immigration society, said Mr Barnard. The object proposed all through had been to increase the population, first by a natural increase and second by immigration. They felt that the solution of the general economic problems of the country and the maintainance of everything that could be covered in the word "heritage” was dependent not only on the expansion possibilities of the Dominion, but in expansion at a faster rate than had been experienced for many years.
