HIGHEST IDEALS
NEW ZEALAND LEGION SERVICE AND COMRADESHIP NO SECTIONAL INFLUENCE (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Tho provisional national council of the Now Zealand Legion held its first moeting, Dr. R. Campbell Begg presiding. There was a representative attendance of delegates from IS out of the 18 divisions of the league which are being established Dominion. Dr. Campbell Begg stated that the legion stood avowedly four-square against political vacillation and political immorality. It stood against all selfish interests which would try to influence the Legislature so as to attain their own ends. The legion must be careiul not 10 give lip service only. Service, sacrifice, and comradeship must not be words on their lips, but things exemplified in their lives and behavior. Their ideals were high, and must remain untarnished. A statement released for publication declares that already the Legion numbers within its ranks supporters of the Reform, United, and Coalition parties, and representatives of all classes, including men employed on relief works. Any statement that sectional influence is behind the movement can be looked on as a deliberate fabrication.
