NEW ZEALAND NATIONAL PARTY

MEETING AT BULLS

In spite of wintry weather, there was a good attendance at the annual general meeting of the Bulls-Sanson Par?v 1° id h<? n CW Zealand National Party, held tn Bulls on Friday evening. Mr. Quentin O. Wilson, president, was in the chair. Apologies for non-attendanee were received from the Misses Levett, Mr. and Mrs. G H Kindon, R. F. Scott, K. Vile, Dudley Willis and G. H. Wilson. y In his opening remarks the chairman said that on Tuesday evening in the Town Hall members and others would have the opportunity of hearing Mr. O. C. Mazengarb speak on the political situation. Mr. Mazengarb, he added, is one of Wellington’* leading barristers, and has become recognised as a forceful and eloquent platform speaker. When at the university, Mr. Mazengarb held the Macandrew scholarship in economics, and graduated with honours in political science. This theoretical knowledge has been enhanced by his long experience in legal and industrial matters while practising at the Bar. Electors may expect to hear a forcible presentation of the great industrial and economic questions of the day, showing the alternatives before the viz., complete socialisation, inflation of currency, or—put the Government out. AU members are invited to attend, and to bring their friends with them. These addresses, Mr. Wilson said, did an immense amount of good. Recently he had conversed with the Hon. A. Hamilton, leader of the party, who had said that in travelling up and down the Dominion he had been impressed with the deep interest shown in the National Party’s activities. People, Mr. Hamilton added, are now waking up to the fact that at the last election they were duped with promises of guaranteed prices and many other baits hung out. The commandeer of dairy produce was well known, and the Government had power to take meat and wool also. Taxation had increased, and he instanced the graduated land tax and the income tax. Members of the present Government have dictatorial powers, and it is their definite intention to turn the country into a socialistic state. Legislative enactments to this purpose have already been indulged in. Export prices have been good and money plentiful, hence many voters have not yet realised the true position. Ten branches of the National Party have been formed in the Manawatu electorate, and the BullsSanson branch has already enrolled 170 members since last October, while the total membership in the electorate is now neftring the thousand mark. But even better organisation is needed, and members should make sure that all in their area are approached to join. Many who voted Labour at last election might have very different views now. The party needs not only members, but funds; for the Labour Party, through compulsory unionism and the fact that union funds could be voted for political purposes, will probably have a fighting fund of half a million at next election. Members should give what they can afford, and the officers and committee could not be expected to give too much of their time to raising funds. Election of Officers.—The following were re-elected: President, Mr. Quentin O. Wilson; hon. secretary and treasurer, Mr. R. O. Dalrymple. In returning thanks for the confidence shown in him, Mr. Wilson said that b° would do his best Io boon the

branch at the top or the tree. (Applause.) He paid a tribute to the good work of the hon. secretary, Mr. Dalrymple, who briefly responded. The following committee was elected:—Messrs. F. C. Jurgens, R. F. Scott, B. J. Frecklington, D. Willis, J. H. Perrett, C. E. Vile, L. Vile, W. W. Wilson, A. H. Escott, H. Fagan, A. W. Amon, F. S. Collier, J. G. Wilson, G. H. Wilson, J. H. Palmer, J. B. Bradley, G. W. Young, S. McKenzie, E. Coleman, Archie Stewart and Ken. Pearce. Delegates to the annual meetings of the electorate committee in Rongotea: Messrs. J. H. Perrett, Q. O. Wilson, R. O. Dalrymple, H. Fagan, A. Escott, L. Vile. W. W. Wilson, L. G. M. Taverner and J. G. Wilson.

Mr. Jurgens made a suggestion that each member should bring in a list of persons in his district, or on his road, so that the names could be checked up with the Party’s membership list, and they would then know who were members and who were not.— Adopted unanimously. After a general discussion, the meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chair.
