PLUNKET SOCIETY & DR. TRUBY KING

The Dunedin correspondent of a Christchurch paper telegraphs that the Plunket Society resolved to express pleasure at the appreciation shown by the authorities ot the Marlborough School of Mothercraft in cabling u> Dr. Truby King "and asking him to go to London to start work there on Now Zealand lines and to select a Plunket nurso from the Dominion to act as matron of (he institution placed at his disposal. The committee, though loth to part ivith Dr. King's services for even a short time, decided to send a note to the Minister asking that if possible Dr. King might bo spared for this national and patriotic service.

LABOUR AND STATE CONTROL

-o THE WELLINGTON COMMITTEE. Mr. W. Maddison, as president of the' Wellington Labour Representation Committee, challenges the accuracy of :i paragraph published on Friday in reference to a meeting of the- committee last week, 'at which tho question of State control of tho liquor traffic was raised. Mr, Maddison states that there was no formal discussion on this point. Somo delegates, ho adds, objected, in the course of an informal discussion, to the inclusion of the following plank in tho Labour Party's platform:— "That the question of Stato control bo placed on the ballot paper when the referendum is taken on the liquor question." "It is altogether incorrect," Mr. Maddison stated, "that the committee finally decided not to adopt tho platform. The position is, briefly, that since tho committee is affiliated with the. New Zealand Labour Party the platform of tho latter body automatically becomes that of tho committee. This could only be cancelled by cancelling the affiliation. Such aotion could not be taken by tho delegates of the Labour Representation Committee, but only, if at all, by the constituent bodies who elect these delegates."
