FULL SHARE OF WORK PATRIOTIC ORGANISATION
Wellington, Last . Night. A decision that the National Party will maintain its organisation and will take its full share of patriotic work in every part of the Dominion was made at a meeting of the Dominion executive of Ihe party at Wellington on Thursday. - Representatives were present from all parts of New Zealand, said the Leader o£ the Opposition, Mr. A. Hamilton, tonight. Members were unanimous in their decision. He pointed out that the party had an organisation spread through all districts, town and country, and with such rallying points as National Clubs and other similar institutions the party could and would concentrate a widespread and effective drive in the interests of New Zealand's support of the war efforts of Britain and the allies. "This action," he added. "will support the lead given by the Parliamentary section of the party, comprising the Opposition in the House of Representatives, which has already expressed willingness to co-operate with the Government in the war effort. The party organisation will therefore concentrate on whatever form of patriotic endeavour is instituted in each district or centre."
