PERMITS FOR ART UNIONS
CABINET MINISTER’S SYMPATHY. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Aug. 12. The art union as a means of finance camo again before a Cabinet Minister to-day when a deputation from the Native Bird .Society • waited on the Hon. P. A. de la the money planned to be so raised, it was stated, the society proposed to further awaken the general public, including school children, to a regard of the preservation of native birds and the establishment of sanctuaries. The Minister remarked that it was rather a change to have an application for an art union to raise money for the protection of native birds and forests. He said he had several applications from new clubs and one from the Cancer Research Committee. Thus it could not be said that art unions were wholly harmful. The society would have its claim noted, as he was in thorough sympathy with its objects. The decision did not rest with him, but with a sub-com-mittee of Cabinet. It was the aim of the department to co-ordinate all efforts for the objects the society had in view.
