CARE OF THE POOR
♦ PREMIER ON FAMILY ALLOWANCES DOUBLED AND WILL HAVE TO BE DOUBLED AGAIN (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. “If the care for the poor and improvements in the conditions of old age pensioners and the drafting of invalidity pensions is Socialism, then ) want to give it another designation, and to say that to me it is applied Christianity.” Thus said the Mayor the Rev W. H. A- Vickery, when welcoming the Prime Minister (the R Hon M. J. Savage) at Kaiapoi, this morning. Mr Savage was applauded vigorously on replying to the welcome. Tracing the directions in which the Government had endeavoured to help the people, the Prime Minister said he and his colleagues wanted to see fathers and children secured against poverty. To help mothers was one oi their big objectives, and in that direction the family allowance was being doubled, and it would have to be doubled again before it reached anything like what it took to keep a child.
