CHURCH AND UNEMPLOYED.
DISCUSSION AT CHRISTCHURCH. Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, April 21. Representatives of the clergy and laity of Christchurch churches, including Bishop West Watson and Bishop Brodie, met representatives of the Canterbury Industrial Association of Workers last evening and discussed unemployment questions and sustenance. At one stage Bishop West Watson said: “I am not prepared to vote on any resolution whatever. I came here to learn, and I must say I am bewildered to join in passing a motion concerning so intricate a matter, on which we have heard no facts. It would be most improper.” Other church representatives supported this attitude. Finally, the conference decided to meet again on May 18, after church delegates have visited relief camps.
