REPORT FROM PRESIDENT.

On June 6th I journeyed to Christchurch to address meetings for the Union and New Zealand Alliance. The White Ribboners must have put ronsiderable time in working up their meeting, for the Art Gallery Hall was well filled. It was a great joy to me to know that nearly all present represented the local and branch Unions. The Alliance Convention, which lasted two days, was uniique. because it met without a President and Secretary, Mr A. S. Adams being appointed Judge of the Supreme Court, and Mr Dawson, with Mrs Dawson, have gone to the International Congress Against Alcoholism, to be held in Lausanne next August. Mr J Malton Murray ha.s been appointed to carry out the duties of acting-Secretary during Mr Dawson's ajjpence abroad, and Mr A. R. Atkinson w *s unanimously elected President. Surelv wdth these gentlemen at the head, and tne indefatigable labours of the Rev. Comrie as District Chairman, the work of the Alliance will not stagnate, but put more passion and enthusiasm than ever into the campaign for 1922. Miss Henderson arrived by the Paloona the second day of the Conference. We are glad to Welcome her bfthk Lorn the W.C.T.U. Triennial Convention in Melbourne, and hope she will be able to do some field work for our Union in the near future.
