NO-CONFIDENCE.

Administration of Red Cross Society. TARANAKI DECISION. Per Press Association HAWERA May 3. The Hawera branch of the New Zealand Red Cross Society at its annual meeting passed a motion of no-confi-dence in the present administration. The South Taranaki Council passed a resolution that the branch go into re- i cess pending a definite declaiation of administrative policy by the newlyformed New Zealand Society and a reconciliation of the contending factions on the control executives as well as an adjustment of the society’s present unsatisfactory financial position. When the matter was referred to Mr C. J. Ronaldson (president of the New Zealand Red Cross Society) last evening he said that the Christchurch branch would not be affected. The new organisation had not been formed right throughout the country and so far no Dominion-wide plans had been made. Auckland was at present making arrangements to form a branch of j the society. The Canterbury section j was working well anl he thought the old order would gradually disappear, j There were certain difficulties in connection with organisation which required to be smoothed out but there were no differences which could not be settled.
