WAR-TIME RACING
QUESTION RAISED IN HOUSE EFFECT ON SAVINGS CAMPAIGN (Special.) WELLINGTON, June 10. A suggestion that consideration should be given by the Government to the effect of the increases in totalisator investments on the National Savings Campaign was made by Mr W. J. Poison (Opposition, Stratford) in a notice of a question to the Minister of Finance, Mr W. Nash, in the House of Representatives this afternoon. Mr Poison said that such increases weakened and, to some extent, foiled the objective at which the campaign was aiming, and he asked the Minister whether he did not consider the time had arrived to imitate other parts of the Empire and reduce'the number of racing days in New Zealand during the war period.
