"I am going to take up the attitude from the start that we should not be called upon to provide any patriotic funds.” said Mr R. G. Young at a meeting of the Waikato County Council, when the Hamilton Borough Council invited it to send representatives to a conference to consider steps to be taken for the collection and administration of patriotic funds, states a Waikato correspondent. ' "This is the thin end of the wedge." added Mr Young. “We have not got the money.” Mr G. M. Watt asked why the council should collect money for the Government to control. On the motion of Mr Young it was decided to inform the borough council that, as the Waikato County Council did not intend to make any contribution to patriotic funds, it did not intend to be represented at the conference.
