selection, my contention would lirove to be founded on fact."
A note from Messrs Evison and Sheppard accompanying the copy of the letter sent to "The Press" and published on Saturday stated that the report in "The Press" of Thursday about the deputation recorded a remark made by the Minister which was capable of very unjust interpretation. In the letter to the Minister Messrs Sheppard and Evison stated that when Mr Smith was referring to the memorandum, he said that it "did not take into account the interests of the children." The report in "The Press" on Thursday attributed the following words to the Minister when he referred to the memorandum concerned:—"l have read this document through very carefully, and summing it up I must say that [ cannot find in its nine pages one single concrete argument as to what is in the best interests of the children. It is a logical argument for more capitation, larger staff and higher rates of pay."
