CONTROL OF RACING
ENQUIRY POSTPONED. BECAUSE OF THE WAR. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Because of the war, the Government has decided to postpone the appointment of a commission to investigate the control and conduct of racing in New Zealand. The Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr Parry, said yesterday that the plan had not be cancelled, but conditions had made its postponement necessary. “The war has resulted in it being put on one side,” Mr Parry said. “The Government has at the moment about as much as it can do without being involved in this matter.” It was intended, Mr Parry continued, to go into the whole matter of the control and conduct of racing. There had also arisen certain questions of permits and possible readjustments, and in some cases, questions as to whether existing clubs should continue as separate entities, or should amalgamate. The order of reference prepared for the proposed commission was particularly brief, but gave a very wide field. The members of the commission had not been selected, the Minister added. It was originally proposed that the commission should sit this year.
