NO INJUSTICE TO WOMEN
THE PREMIER'S PROMISE. (Pkb United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, September 11. “I think you can make up your minds on this: that the Now Zealand Parliament will not see any injustice done to the women of the country. I can say that right away.” So said iMr Massey to a deputation from, the National Council of Women, which requested that there he no inequality between men and women; that women should not he debarred by sex from occupying any civil position, such as that of justices of the peace; that they should also be able to serve on juries and be given equal rights of guardianship over children with men. Tlje deputation also urged the establishment of women patrols. Mr Massey assured the deputation that its representations would not be lost on the Government. So far as women patrols were concerned, he was quite convinced there was necessity for something more drastic in the wav of punishment for those who assaulted children. If it depended on him, it would be much more drastic than it had over been yet.
