UNCLE SCRIM AND POLITICS
Sir,—At a political meeting held here recently an interjector wanted to know why Uncle Scrim was allowed to travel around the country at our expense, broadcasting political propaganda under a cloak of religion. I rose to uphold his integrity and made the following statement: "I have followed the work of Uncle Scrim for many years and state emphatically that he has never made a political address in any part of New Zealand.”
The philosophy of Uncle Scrim and the doctrine he put forward 15 years ago was. and is now. the purest of Christianity. It was accepted as such then but as the ethic of his doctrine is identical to that of the present Government, and we are now in the heat of battle, it is interpreted as political propaganda.—l am, etc., VICTOR E. MASON.
