AUCKLAND, 23rd October.
Reference to tho proposed new Maori Diocese was made by Archbishop Avcrill in his charge to the Auckland Diocesan Synod: Tho chief difficulty, he said, was the constitutional one of the creation of an imperium in imperio. On this point he had asked tho Archbishop of Canterbury to submit tho matter to tho consultative body of the Lambeth Conference, and ho had every hope of a favourable reply. It would probably be decided by General Synod to assign to the Maori Diocese a definite area, so that the bishop would be a territorial bishop and at the same time, with the concurrence of the other bishops of the province, exercise spiritual jurisdiction over the Maori people wherever they might be situated. It was probable that Church schools for the Maoris would, for the present at least, remain under the same control as in the past, except that the bishop would have some official position in connection with thorn. There seemed to be little cause for anxiety concerning the financial position, and there should ,be ample funds for the working of the new diocese.
