RESTRICTIVE MEASURES ADVOCACY BY CHURCH (By Telegraph. —Special to Times) ROTORUA, Sunrlny The problem of liquor in Maori villages was the chief matter discussed by the Church of Eneland Maori Church conference held at Ohinemutu during the last two days. The conference—the equivalent of Synod—was attended by representatives of each of the six pastorates in the Tauranga archdeaconry. The Rt. Rev. F. A. Bennett. Bishop of Aotearoa. who presided, was assisted by Canon W. G. Williams. superintendent of the Maori Mission. After a kefen debate on the liquor question, a resolution was carried unanimously proposing that the law forbidding the introduction of intoxicating liquor into Maori villages should be strictly enforced: that during the war the hours for the sale of liquor should be reduced, and also that the law forbidding the sale of liquor for consumption off licensed premises now applicable to soldiers and Maoris should apply without exception to everyone during wartime. It was also proposed that hotel bars should be closed all day on Saturdays and that the alcoholic content of liquor should be reduced.
