BELGIAN WIDOWS AND CHILDREN FOR NEW ZEALAND.
To tho Editor. Sir—Mr Holman, the. Labor rveratot for New South Wales, has annuvwed fiat tho Government agrees to, take two thousand Belgian and French women refugees whose have fallen in the war. I respectfully beg to suggest that we New Zeaj&nders should also offer to receive soir.c of these refugee widows here, who arc well used to 'domestic duties and | a rm life. May 1
dap suggest that those here who could welcome and accommodate one refugee widow for a month, or longer, should hand in their names to the Editor of this journal or Bend direct to the Premier or the member for the electorate. In this way the Government would bo guided if they make an offer to receive refugees. The question of bringing out Belgian refugees is to be brought up at the next meeting of the North Canterbury Farmers' Union. Our New Zealand troopships, on their return trip, could bring back refugees. Our Bible constantly states that out duty is to care for the widow and the fatherless. I am, A NEW ZEALANDER.
