THE SALVATION ARMY.
EXTENSION OF ITS ACTIVITIES. (Special to Daily Times.) - AUCKLAND, June A “ In Australia our organisation is making excellent progress, and the Prime Minister (Mr S. M. Bruce) told me that more than ever was the Commonwealth looking to the Salvation Army for help so far as some of its social problems are concerned,” said Commissioner Henry W. Mapp (international secretary of the Salvation Army, representing General Booth), who arrived in Auckland this morning by the Aorangi after conducting congresses in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. Commissioner Mapp said that one of the paramount social problems in Australia was unemployment, which, he indicated, was improving. In England, too, unemployment was on the decrease, and there was dawning an optimistic outlook in the industrial world. Speaking of the development of the Salvation Army movement generally, Commisioner Mapp said that there had been a remarkable forward move in recent years. Indeed, applications for an extension of the organisation’s activities had been made by countries such as Bulgaria and Turkey, where the Salvation Army did not operate at present.
