PATRIOTIC FUNDS
Explanatory Statement As there is throughout the Dominion a definite misunderstanding regarding the work . and the co-ordination of the different patriotic organisations, the following statement is issued on behalf of the National Patriotic Fund Board and the Joint Council of the Order of St. John and N.Z. Red Cross Society. TE Joint Council has been appointed by the National Patriotic Fund Board as the authorised collector for the Sick and Wounded Fund, all moneys collected being paid to the National Patriotic Fund Board. The Joint Council has also been appointed the only authorised expending agent of the Sick and Wounded Fund; that is to say, the Joint Council actually carries out the work of the Board in connection with the sick and wounded. The National Patriotic Fund Board, in the early days of the war, decided that moneys should be raised in the order in which they would be expended. Consequently they authorised first the Fighting Services Appeal (for the comforts of troops overseas), which was held in May, and second the Sick and Wounded Appeal, which has recently been completed. Arrangements have now been made between the National Patriotic Fund Board and the Provincial Patriotic Councils that no further National appeals will be made by independent bodies, and all future appeals will be made by the Provincial Patriotic Councils. The next appeal will be that of the Provincial Patriotic Councils for rehabilitation, or the care of the men upon their return. The various Committees and Sub-Commit-tees of the Joint Council of the Order of St. John and N.Z Red Cross Society will be provided with funds from which to carry out their war work, on application being made to their Centre. The work should, however, only be done as is requested from time to time by the Headquarters of the Joint Council, which is supplied with the information of what actual work is required by requests from overseas, and by requests from the Director-General of Medical Services. Making goods in excess of the actual requirements, plus a reasonable reserve, is at the present time a waste of good material,
