DE LISTON'S SPEECH
DISCUSSED BY COUNCIL OP CHURCHES. “A MISCHIEVOUS UTTERANCE.” AUCKLAND MAYOR’S ATTITUDE APPROVED. (Feb Dims Press Assooiatiok.) CHRISTCHURCH, March 20. The Council of the Christian Congregations discussed Dr Liston’s speech and Mr Gunson’s reply thereto, and as a result the following resolution was passed:—'“This council regrets exceedingly that Dr Liston should have used the occasion of the Irish Treaty, which has been approved by the Parliament of Great Britain, by the Irish National Assembly, and by the world at large, to express suspicion of the. honesty of the intentions of the Mother Country and of discontent with the treaty itself and generally to malign the Empire. The council is unable to believe that any man is a good New Zealander who defames the Empire. The council expresses its pleasure at the stem attitude adopted by the Mayor of Auckland and trusts that an end will bo voluntarily put to this type of mischievous utterance.”
