THE PEOPLE AND THE WAR —© A CITY COUNCIL'S RESOLUTION; ■ By Telegraph—Press Assn. Christchurch, January 29. The City Council to-night appointed a deputation to wait on the Government and place before it the following resolutions:— "That as there is a considerable disproportion in the equality of sacrifice, and as tho burden of sacrifice is falling so heavily on the general body of the community, who have sent their sons, and who also have to bear tho economic burden of tho high price of commo&tics, we ask that the Government logically step out, and having conscripted men, they also appropriate extra profits made during the war period. "That in the opinion of this combined meeting the taxation of incomes (other than incomes derived from war profits) is at the present time inadequate. "That, as it is absolutely necessary to conserve and concentrate tho energy of the people of New Zealand to win tho war, we requisition tho Govern--ment to organise" the man and woman power either through nationalisation of industry or the organisation of private interests, to carry on the industries of the country, and thus freo men who are physically fit to prosecute, the war. "That the Government be requisitioned to use every means in its power consistent with equity and justice to win and finish the war." Train arrangements for tho Military Carnival at the Solway Showgrounds on February 1 are advertised in this issue.
