APPEAL FOR FUNDS
LABOUR PARTY'S EXPLANA-
TION
"I noticed a Press Association message in which it is stated that the Auckland Labour Representation Committee had issued an appeal to hotelkeepers for donations to the Labour Party's funds," writes Mr. D. Wilson, national secretary of the Labour Party, "and as this action would be in opposition to the practice of the party either locally or nationally, I telephoned the secretary, Mr. T. P. McCready, for an explanation. "He assures me that there is no truth in the insinuation that the letter was sent to hotelkeepers only, but, on the contrary, the letter was sent to all business people, who were believed to be in sympathy with the policy of the Labour Government. "On behalf of the Labour Party, I resent very much this attempt to mislead the electors and to infer that the appeal was made to any particular section of the business community, and can assure you that it was sent among others to business men who were strong advocates of Prohibition."
