PATRIOTIC APPEAL. ALL ONE CAMPAIGN. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Sept- 14. Mr Hayden, secretary of the National Patriotic Board, explains that a proportion of the £IOO,OOO for the relief of London distress is to he found by the provincial patriotic councils. Concurrently with the intensification of the bombing of London, the patriotic councils had completed arrangements for the launching of a Dominion campaign fot funds tor all patriotic purposes, including rehabilitation for all branches of the Armed Forces, the provision of relief for them and their dependants, and also comforts and other needs. The objective of £1,000,000 had been fixed and October 14 had been nominated as the starting date of this campaign. In view of the decision to make New Zealand’s gesture to the people of London an immediate one, and to allow 'of allocations by the provincial patriotic councils to the sum being sent to London to be recouped, the provincial campaign virtually started to-day. '■ The public, therefore, in contributing to the provincial funds, will be giving to the outstanding objective among many worthy aims because the relief for the people of London is now automatically one of the responsibilities of the provincial funds.
