WAR COUNCIL ENDS ACTIVITIES
(PA..) WELLINGTON, August 13. In announcing today that the functions of the War Council were to be discontinued the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser, paid a warm tribute to the services given by members during the council's existence. At its recent meeting, said Mr Fraser, the War Council fully discussed its relationship with the War Administration and the view was expressed that following on the assumption by the War Administration of many of the duties and functions previously performed by the War Council, the time was ripe for a full coordination of all the council’s duties and functions under the new administrative body. In making a unanimous recommendation that the War Council should terminate its functions, members offered to continue to place their individual services at the disposal of the Government in any form that might be required, and this offer would be gladly availed of.
