PATRIOTIC FUNDS
CRITICISM OF METHODS OF RAISING (P.A.) Auckland. Sept. 2. Methods of raising funds for patriotic purposes were discus.-?d at length to-day by the Council of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce, when the following remit was passed for presentation at the conference oi Chambers of Commerce:—“This conference is of opinion that the present methods of raising patriotic funds are inequitable and urges that all amounts required for patriotic purposes be raised by additions to the National Security tax and handed to patriotic boards for distribution.” In its original form the remit suggested that the Government subsidise patriotic funds £1 for £l. Expressing the conviction that, the licensing of industries under the industrial Efficiency Act discourageu initiative, curbed enterprise, discounted ability and fostered the growth oi monopolies, the Council of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce passed a remit, to be presented to the forthcoming conference of Chambers of Commerce, urging the repeal of these provisions in the interests of th-e community, and especially in the interests of returned men.
