SERVICE IN PUBLIC LIFE
HIGH INTEGRITY NEEDED NATIONAL PARTY CALL (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, last night. The need for men of sound beliefs and high integrity to assist in the governing of the country was stressed by Colonel C. H. Weston, D. 5.0., Dominion president of the National Party, in a statement to-night, in which he urged such men should consent to offer themselves for service in Parliament and public life when asked to do so. The next election in New Zealand was close at hand, and the time had come for the selection of candidates to stand in the interests of the National Party. It was only fair to a candidate and to the party that selections in the electorates should be made in the near future. There was a tendency for men who were eminently suited to public life to withhold their consent and leave the burden of responsibility to others perhaps less qualified than themselves.
