IDEALS OF ANZAC
DR THACKER’S REMARKS DEPRECATED. (Per United Press Association.) Palmerston North, December 8. “That this meeting of the Palmerston North Returned Soldiers’ Association deprecates very strongly the unfortunate remarks made by Dr Thacker at Christchurch insofar as they affect any gesture of our Australian comrades to honour our New Zealand fallen and definitely welcomes any cementing of the ideals of Anzac,” was the motion passed at the half-yearly meeting of the Palmerston North branch of the Returned Soldiers’ Association last evening with only one dissentient voice in over 150. The president, Mr Jacobs, who recently visited Australia to attend the Empire Ex-Servicemen’s Conference, and one of the official representatives of New Zealand, said that after his experience in Australia, what had transpired at Christchurch had been made even more distasteful to him.
