BREWERY MERGER SCHEME
PRECISELY THAT OF CANON WILLIAMS. [Special to the ‘Star.’] CHRISTCHURCH, May 21. The Rev. J. R. Hervey, vicar of Sheffield, writes to the ‘Press’ pointing out that the brewery merger scheme is precisely that of Canon P. T. Williams, of Auckland. Mr Hervey goes on to say that an advertisement signed by Canon Williams and several other Auckland clergymen giving details of the suggested reform was circulated throughout New Zealand just prior to the last poll. In a report of a recent meeting of the Christchurch Clerical Society, at which Canon Williams expounded his proposal, the ‘Church News’ for May says ; “The scheme is a bold and ambitious reply to the archbishop that if tho Church is not p; spared to support Prohibition it must devise some other drastic remedy,” and further down in the report we read that “the scheme is receiving powerful support in moderate circles. It is no commendation of it that an influential section of the wholesale trade is favorable. Judging hy the published report of the findings of tho Wellington conference that support and that favorable attitude has developed into a serious espousal of Canon Williams’s proposals.
