Mr E. Arnold moved the following resolution, which was seconded by Mr E. G. Hicks and adopted with enthusiasm:—

That the members of the Wellington District Branch of the Liberal and Labour Federation of New Zealand sincerely thank the Hon. Dr J. G. Findlay for his presence amongst them this evening. They also desire to record their appreciation of his able and interesting address upon the industrial problems of the day; and further, to express their conviction that the present Government is [unclear: m] every respect competent to frame and pass all such measures of social reform as are at present realisable in New Zealand. In that conviction they would assure Dr Findlay of their confidence in him and his fellow members of the Ministry.
