WARNING TO PUBLIC

LEGION MISREPRESENTED The New Zealand Legion desires to warn tho public against being misled by a pamphlet now being sold at ,6d per copy and bearing on title page.' “Tho New Zealand Legion—\\ hat is it? What are its objects?” Dr. 1). G. McMillan. The title is entirely mis leading. The public is naturally in terested in the Legion movement and anxious to know more about it. The Legion has reason to know that many people have purchased the pamphlet in question under the impres sion that it would provide further in formation. Instead they have discovored that the contents are. in actual fact, an attack on the Legion and a deliberate and ludicrous misrepresentation of its foundation and aims. Therein tho author attempts to place the legion in the same category as the notorious Ku Klux Klan, of America and Hitlerism in Germany. Nothing could be further from tho facts. The Legion is an education body, its whole object is to rouse the New Zealand people to a sense of their obligations as citizens. Tho most impor taut part of a citizen’s duty should bo to give his personal attention anl effort to the cause of good Government; to think of the nation instead of himself; and to see that in both local and general Government men and women aro elected who will support and adhere to this principle in legislation and administration.
