POLITICAL FUNDS
EXPENDITURE OF MONEYS AUDIT PROPOSAL DEFEATED (Per United Press Association) WELLINGTON, July 19. “ This is an attempt to obtain clean politics or cleaner politics than we have at present,” said Mr A. E. Robinson when moving at the annual conference of the New Zealand Fanners’ Union today an Auckland remit urging that the funds of political parties should be subject to audit by a Supreme Court judge, and that the moneys spent by any political organisation should be open to inspection just in the same way as the moneys spent by individual candidates. After half an hour’s discussion, during which several delegates expressed the view that the debate was unworthy of the union and the subject outside its scope, the remit was lost by 26 votes to 23.
