DESTITUTE WOMEN
statement r efuted
AUCKLAND, June 5
“If it can be proved that any unemployed woman'or girl in Auckland has been forced 'to live a lire of immorality because 'they are. .destitute, I'm prepared to hand £SO over to th ß New Zealanders’ Association,” declares the Rev, Jasper Colder, City Missi oner.
Recently, Mrs G. Stowe, secretary of the Women’s Unemployment Committee of jthe New Zealanders’ Association, when leading a deputation to th© Hon. S. G. Smith, said that definite knowledge had been obtained of girls being compelled to resort to degradation to avert starvation.
Mr Calder, in “Missions,” the official organ, challenges Mrs Stowe’s statements, characterising them as a horrible slander, based on ignorance and inspired by hysteria.
