WAR FUNDS.
THE CASE OF WESTLAND. APPEAL TO OTHER PATRIOTIC BODIES. Wellington, Last Night. At a m.eeting of the War Funds Council a discussion arose with regard to the inequality of patriotic funds raised in different provincial districts, and the case of Westland was quoted. .It was stated that in that district a large percentage of men had gone to the" front, hut the patriotic fund was very small, 'by reason of the comparative 'lack of wealth in that part of the country. Jt was resolved, on the motion of Mr. J. Roberts, C.M.G. (Dunedin), seconded by Mr. J. P. Luke ('Wellington), that an appeal he made to the various patriotic societies throughout New Zealand to assist weaker funds by sending to the National War Funds Council such sums of money as they feel disposed to allot for the purpose, in order to enable the Council to help any district where the local fund is not utrdng enough to provide for wounded and invalided soldiers and their dependents.
