White Race League (1880s)

Anti-Asiatic League (1880s).

Lionel Terry, poet, trade union organiser, painter. Author of "The Shadow", opposing Chinese immigration as a means of capitalist exploitation, he is now only remembered with infamy as the killer of a Chinaman in New Zealand's China quarter, Haining Street, Wellington, in 1905, to draw attention to immigration.

White New Zealand League, organised among farmers, 1920s.

New Zealand Legion (1932) Founded by Maj. Gen. J.V.R. Sherston, led by well known Wellington physician Campbell Begg, the Green shirted Legion grew to 20,000 members, including future Prime Minister Keith Holyoake. The Legion was founded not only to resist socialism and communism during the Depression, but to offer an alternative, and towards this end adopted social credit economics, and a semi-corporatist policy advocating an Economic Council to advise Government, that would be drawn from all productive sectors.

Arthur Nelson Field Journalist with the Dominion and other major newspapers, Field became a recognised expert on the banking system, and the author of best sellers during the Depression, including The Truth About New Zealand, The Truth About the Slump, and All These Things. He was also sympathetic towards fascism, although himself being a fairly typical colonialist European for that time, and developed an antipathy for Jewish influence in politics and banking, reflected in books such as All These Things. Field was also a columnist for Henry Kelliher's popular home journal, The Mirror, which pushed banking reform, for which Labour's First Prime Minister Joe Savage acknowledged Kelliher's assistance in the election victory, banking reform being a major Labour policy at that time. Field published his own newspaper, The Examiner, which concentrated on the Jewish issue.
