The small increase in the New Zea~ land birth rate* has afforded Mr A. Harris, Opposition candidate for Waitemata, an opportunity to make a novel and interesting suggestion for fostering the full-cradle idea. He proposes to give a bonus, not to the> mothers of families but to prospective mothers at the earliest moment possible. His idea is that the State, through the Insurance Department, should give every female child in a family of six or over a paid-up endowment policy for £20, which would! mature when the girl married. With the idea, of further increasing the benefit of the scheme, the parents should be able to increase the amount of the policy to £50 by the payment of premiums, computed on the lowest possible scale.
