AUCKLAND, July 1. Practieally all tlxe Auckland Red Cross Transport Corps resigned as from yesterday. At a gcneral xneeting 84 of 88 members gave notice in -writing of tliis inlention. "I lxave no Ixesitation in giving my own personal reaaoris, " said Mr. F. V. Home, vvlio bas been senior officer of tlxe Corps 'tlirougli tlie wai' years. He said tliat, considering tlie Auckland Corps had eovered nearly lxalf tlie Eed Cross transport mileage for tlie Doniinion and about tliree times tliat of Wellington, he tliought more consideration should have been shown his corps. The administration from Wellington seemed to be at all times Wellington for Wellington'. Mr. Horne added that in transport matters, Wellington had been inefficient and unfair. »So many petty inaceuracies occurred tliat he considered administration from the capital eity was, to p_ut it xnildly, uur'eliable and lie
wished to have no further dealing with. Wellington Eed Cross headquarters. On tlie other lxand, all members of the ; Corps held the Auckland Centre of the New Zealand Eed Cross Society in high esteem. Eed Cross Transport headquarters, Auckland, would still be staff ed from the small number of members re* maining.
