COMPLETE POLITICAL UNITY URGED
RALLY HELD IN AUCKLAND
(United Press Association) AUCKLAND, June 4. The Town Hall was crowded today when the second big rally was held under the auspices of the National Services Movement to urge complete political unity and the immediate intensification of the Dominion’s war effort.
The speakers were the Rev. Gladstone Hughes, Moderator of the Auckland Presbytery, Mr B. H. Kingston, chairman of the movement, Mr C. J. Garland, and Miss Mary Wigley, chairman of the women’s organizations associated with the movement. The addresses were punctuated with warm applause. The following resolution was carried unanimously:— “We, as loyal citizens of the Dominion, place on record our fixed determination to do all, and to give all to aid the Motherland, and we beg the Government to give a lead to our urgent appeal for the formation of a truly representative non-party War Cabinet and for the taking of such other steps as will tend to secure a speedy realization of complete national unity and the maximum war effort on the part of all our people.”
