POST-WAR PLANNING
RECONSTRUCTION WORK AUSTRALIAN MOVEMENT MR. DOIDGE'S OPINIONS (For Press Association.) AUCKLAND, this day. "In Australia there is already a strong movement afoot sponsored by ex-Senator R. D. Elliott to plan for the vast task of reconstruction following the war." said Mi-. F. W. Doidge. M.P. for Tauranga, on his return from Sydney. “Among many thinking people it is not so much the outcome of the war that engages the attention as the outcome of the peace that will follow. Twenty years have passed since the last war and the problems brought in its train are for the most part still unsolved. “When the present war ends it is obvious that, whatever the outcome, victor and vanquished will alike emerge impoverished. There is a growing belief that existing standards will disappear and that' politically, economically and financially we shall have to plan anew." In an address at Melbourne, Mr. Doidge suggested the Dominions should urge the United Kingdom Government to set up an Empire Council of reconsetruction, its members to be free of political and racial prejudices and financial fetishes, and each Dominion to have a representative.
