Its members are generally, of the opinion that as far as is'con-* sisteut with the integrity of the prin- 1 ciplcs by which the Reform Party is (standing, all party warfare should cease,, ond that there should be no unnecessary* parading of contentions political The executive has resolved; "That, ii - view of the grave crisis through whicl the country is passing, it is desirable to obliterate as far as possible all partj distinctions and differences, so as to enable citizens of all ranks and standing in the community to work uijitedly •. together for tha common good, in the interests and defence of the Empire, i whose very existence depends upon tha* result of the war in Europe - f and that,) AS the assembly of delegates for the discussion of political questions and) party organisation might;tend to distract attention from the more ant and vital issues with which the Gov* eminent is called upon to deal, the, executive is of opinion the usual annual conference of delegates should »ie abu.n*» cloned. The branches be notified accord* 1 ingly." . __________ '
