NATIONAL PARTY DECISION PATRIOTIC ACTIVITIES LEADER’S ASSURANCE (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. “A decision that the National Party will maintain its organisation and will take its full, share of patriotic work in every part of the Dominion, was made at a meeting of the Dominion executive of the party held in Wellington in Thursday, when representatives were present from all parts of New Zealand,” said the Leader of the Opposition, the Hon. Adam Hamilton last night. Members were unanimous in this decision, and he pointed out that the party iiad its organisation spread through all districts, town and country, and with such rallying points as National clubs and other similar institutions the party could, and would, concentrate a widespread and effective drive in the interests of New Zealand’s support of the war efforts of the Mother Country and the Allies. . /

“This action will support the lead given by the Parliamentary section of the party, comprising the Opposition in the House of Repesentatives which already had expressed its willingness to cooperate with the Government in the war effort,” Mr. Hamilton said. “The party organisation, therefore, will concentrate on whatever form of patriotic endeavour is instituted in each district or centre.”
