N.Z. ALLIANCE
REV. W. J. COMRIE ELECTED PRESIDENT.
(Per United Press Association.)
Wellington, May 26.
The New Zealand Alliance advocated the consolidation of existing licensing legislation into separate Acts, one regulatory and the other governing the referendum, also that it be made an offence for any person other than a parent to purchase or supply liquor outside the home for a person under 21.
The meeting considered that all preparations containing alcohol should bear a declaration indicating the percentage of liquor content and that advertisements should not be allowed to refer to alcohol as a “tonic,” “stimulant,” etc., or as medicinal and health-giving. The Rev. W. J. Cotnrie was elected president, Mr F. Feist treasurer and Mr J. M. Murray secretary.
The Alliance also passed the following resolution: “That we again call upon the Government to secure a full enforcement of the existing law in regard to licensed hotels, especially in connection with after hours’ trading, and urge the need for affording the police more adequate means of dealing with these matters.”
