Revoking and cancelling Permits for Collections, receiving or raising Moneys for War Funds.

Department of Internal Affairs,
Wellington, 27th February, 1919.

OWING to the cessation of hostilities and the early return of the New Zealand Forces, the necessity for raising further money for certain War Funds no longer exists.

In pursuance of section 33, subsection (6), of the War Legislation Act, 1917, all existing permits to raise money on behalf of the societies controlling the following War Funds are hereby revoked and cancelled:—

Blue Cross Fund.
Catholic Federation Field Service Fund.
Chaplains and Nurses Fund.
Church of England Military Affairs Committee.
Equipment Gifts and Parcels for Soldiers and Sailors.
Methodist Church Military Camps Committee.
Mine Sweepers.
Navy League Ladies Auxiliary.
Presbyterian Church Chaplains and Camp Funds.
Prisoners of War Fund.
Red Cross Fund.
Sewing and Knitting Guilds.
Salvation Army War Fund.
Trench Comforts Fund.
Tobacco Funds for Overseas.
Women’s National Reserve Fund.
Y.M.C.A. War Fund.

Should the Executive of any of the above funds desire to make a special appeal for a particular purpose, full consideration will be given on application being made.

All permits for patriotic shops are hereby revoked and cancelled, unless specially approved for the augmentation of funds controlled by patriotic societies empowered to grant relief and assistance to soldiers and dependants.

Generally the issue of further permits should be restricted to the raising of funds to be expended by incorporated societies and those administering funds for the direct benefit of soldiers and dependants.

As this arrangement will tend to materially decrease the number of permits, the monthly returns of permits issued hitherto supplied to the War Funds Office by Mayors, Chairmen of local bodies, and other persons authorized may be discontinued. In the absence of a return it will be assumed that no permits whatever have been issued, but it is desirable in order to supervise collections that notification should be given in every case where permits are granted.

Where any doubt exists as to whether a particular permit should be issued, a collect telegram to the Department will receive prompt attention.
