GOVERNMENT PROPOSALS. PER PRESS ASSOCIATION. Wellington, August 27. The Premier to-night received a deputation from the central executive of the New Zealand Frindly Societies Association, which placed before him some of the resolutions dealt with at the recent conference held in \e hngtor,. Sir Joseph Ward, in reply, said it was intended to appoint a Head of Friendly Societies at an early date, and to mako the Departmnt an independent one. The ax 'sting system had probably been too slow and required galvanising i nto We. He hoped to place the Departmem in touch with the Colonial Executive If there was anything u„. air about old age pension payments to members of societies in receipt of sick pay, ,t would be looked into Hie pension scheme was not meant to be administered in any narrow spirit. Where a man had been con! tributing to a friendly society and paced himself beyond" the need of charitable support, that ought not to be mixed up with the broader and greater scheme of old age pensions. He thought it would be a good thing i here were some system of aril tration between societies and the medical association.
