EQUALITY OF SEXES.
WOMEN’S CITIZENSHIP. Wellington, Sept. 11. “1 think you can make up your minds on this that the New Zealand Sarliament will not see any injustice one to the women of this country. 1 .can say that right away.’’ So said Mr. Massey to a deputation from the National Council of Women, which requested that there be no inequality between men and women, that women should not be debarred by sex from occupying any civic position such as that of Justices of the Peace, and that they should also be able to servo on juries and given equal rights of guardianship over children as men. The deputation also urged the establishment of woman patrols. Mr. Massey assured the deputation that its representations would not be lost on the Government. So far as women patrols were concerned I l ® was quite convinced that there was a necessity for something more drastic in the way of punishment for those who assaulted children. If it depended on him it would be much more drastic than it had ever been yet.
