UNITED WAR EFFORT

NATIONAL PARTY RESOLUTION. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. At a meeting in Wellington yesterday the Dominion Council of the National Party, fully representative of all electorates, the following resolution was carried unanimously:— “That this meeting of the Dominion Council of the New Zealand National Party assures the Hon Adam Hamilton that the party organisation fully supports the magnificent appeal made by him in Palmerston North on February 28, wherein he called for the full support of members of the National Party for the war effort of the Dominion. The Dominion Council believes that the winning of the war must be the first consideration of all the people of New Zealand, and that every organisation should direct its best efforts to that end. Members of the National Party are urged to continue and intensify if possible the work they are at present engaged in in support of recruiting and other forms of patriotic effort. It urges that the soldiers of the Dominion must be held in the highest possible favour in the community; that the ranks of the fighting forces be kept filled, and that everything necessary for their equipment and general welfare be given the enthusiastic support of every citizen in the Dominion.”
