— By Telegraph— Copyright).
Wellington, xnuibuay. A report on unemployment presented to the Methodist Synod by the investigation committee stated that the opinion of the committee was unanimous that the present system of relief work has resulted in a loss of morale that in its way is as tragic as hunger. The committee is concerned that the public mind has not paid sufficient attention to this aspect of the case, qnd it is of opinion that this aspect should be brought to the very forefront .of the discussion. This was passed by the Synod. Other resolutions were carried commending to the Government the institution of a compulsory national insurance fund, as a method of adequately guarding against the evils of unemployment in the coming days, and that pay should be adequate to meet the bare needs of life — food, clothes and rent.
