RESERVE BANK BILL
“NO MANDATE TO INFLICT THIS LEGISLATION “ By Telegraph— Press Association WANGANUI, October 16. A large audience at Wanganui tonight, following a forceful address by Mr H. Atmore. M.P., carried a resolution unanimously, asking the Prime Minister to delay passing legislation setting up a Reserve Bank until a referendum of the electors is obtained. The meeting also resolved that it believed the Government had no mandate to inflict this legislation on the people of the Dominion, and if the Government persisted in setting up the bank the audience would pledge themselves individually and collectively to link with other electorates for the purpose of voting the Government out of office.
A further motion was carried asking Mr W. A. Veltch, M.P., to oppose the Bill in the House and to do all in his power to prevent its passage.
