El ctor al. fjpo THE POLICYHOLDERS NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANCE ASSOCIATION. Gbntlemhu, —'Peinp a candidate for election to tho Central Board. I have the honour to solicit your support In favon> of mv candidature. Without -otiinß forth my reasons in detail I desirs to say briefly that the position of a uomin it-d member is to me an unsatisfactory position. One year's experience in connection with the i rocecdings of the Board has convinced me that for one who desires to effect the greatest pos'ible amount of good for 'lie Policyholders, for one who desires to be ent:relv free ' and unfettered—it is esential that ho should be an olected member of the Board. I feel that 1 should be greatly to blame if, for the purpose of gaining support I were to make any state- J ment regarding the pi oceedlncs of thn Hoard which could in any degree tend to injure the business of the ' Association. I have too great a regard for tho welfare of tha 'ssoclation to do that; but at the same time I feel bound to say, in general terms, that many of its , transactions have been of a very unsatisfactory character. This I attribute almost entirely to the defective constitution of the Board. Three proposals affecting the constitution of the Board will in a few days be submitted to the Policyholders, and upon these they will be called upon to vote. They are :—(1.) To hand tho Association back to the Government. To this lam very much opposed, as tho business of the Associatior has, 1 am glad to say, begun to asume the lines of a commercial under- ! taking. To take it back to the " official" groove of a Government department would to my mind, be a retrograde step. (2.) To create * Board consisting ' of Ihrte elected members and three official numbers —the -secretary of the Treasury, the Solieitor-General and the Public Trustee—the Government to appointone of these official member* to be chairman. I can not seo that such a Board would in any respect be an improvement upon *he existing Board, as it would still contain the objocti v ble official element, and would leave the door opc_ to the exercise of political patronage. (3.) To create a Board of seven members —four to be elected and three nominated, but the nominated members not to Government officials. The i Board to elect its own chairman. t lam strongly In favour of this last proposal, which f is the suggestion cf Mr. Fisher—because, while it a gives to the Government a fair proportion of repre- 1 lentation, it also gives to the Policyholders some rsal I power of control. The main object to be aimed at is 1 to place the affairs of the Association up*n a purely f business basis, and this end would, 1- think, be t attained by the carrying of Mr. Fisher's proposals. t Should you do me the honour to accord me your support 1 return you my earnest assurance that no eff.irt will be wanting on my part to secure the best possible results for the Policyholders as a body. i ■ 1 have the honour to be, Yours obediently, a G V.
