CORRESPONDENCE

[We do not hold ourselves responsible jor opinions expressed by our correspondents. IRISH SELF-DETERMINATION FUND. Sir, I am glad to know from the current issue of the 1 ablet that you are anxious to see the resolution of the recent Irish-Australasian Convention held in Melbourne put to a practical test in New. Zealand, and that you are calling on all delegates to redeem their promise of raising funds. As one of the delegates privileged to attend the Convention, I would like to point out that, so far as the archdiocese is concerned, his Grace Archbishop Redwood has directed his priests to take up a collection in their respective parishes, and this has been done already in some and recorded in your columns. I am pleased to say that Wanganui has contributed £156, and I believe that every parish will do its best to back up the wish of our venerable Archbishop. So far, then, as the Wellington delegates are concerned, they have done their part, and are proud of it.—l am, etc.,

John A. O'Connell, S.M St. Mary's Presbytery, Wanganui.
