CHRISTCHURCH MILITARY PARADE REPLY TO A QUESTION Wellington, Oct. 13. Replying in the House to the Rev. O. Carr (Timaru), who drew attention to the objections of sections of the community to the proposal to hold a military parade in Christchurch on Armistice Sunday, the Hon. J. G. Cobbe, said that prior to the suspension of compulsory military training church parades had been held by all- units in Christchurch’ on the Sunday nearest Armistice Day. The proposed parade was merely a revival of this custom and was not an innovation. It would be held purely for divine service and for no other reason. Having regard to these circumstances he did not propose to take any steps to interfere. The Avon and Heathcote Estuary Conservancy Bill (Mr J. McCombs) was introduced and read the first time.
