Mr Chamberlain and Old Age Pensions

THE FRIENDLY SOCIETIES

HELP

Theftfghfe Han Josfph Chamberlain ftifecndsd the Movable Committee of the National ladepeodent Order cf Oddfellowi 1, of which be in an honorary member, at Birmingham, on May 31, and delivered aa address, in which ho dealt mainly wit|» tbfe, possibility of resuscitating, through the means of the great friendly societies, and, carrying to a practical ooncluaion the proposals for » ayatem. of State aasistad old ago pensions for those people who. by thrift had themselves made provision io tba' direction. Ha declared hitosoif as Btroagiy opposed aa ever to any sygtcin cf oniveraal old age pensions, as being OGijaat to fche tHxp»y«»r, »n«l de^tracivp of the principles of thrift and snlf pro vidioK. But he strongly advocated gome tyifem by which the State ahooJd oonlribate aompthiog to ths help of the deserving poor who had by means of tba fiitindiy societies made provision for themselves, and he believed that lioh a scheme would remove one of the caaaeawhich broughfcabout the actuarial ttntouoelneM of which ther® was g$ mach odmplaint now among nil these societies. It would also en conrage the young members to remain in the societies, and 80 obviate the evil of secession which was bo rife He advocated that the whole questim: should be Ukm up aport altogether from the arena of party polities. In welcoming the Committee to Birmingham, Mr Ohtmberlain said he quite understood that they hsd had some qanlms of conscience in coming to a city Which was known as the home of the Colonial Secretary, but their cord'al reception of him convinced him th»t they were not bo credulous as to believe that be wao a sort of political dragon who are a Boer for breakfast and for ■upper a little imp.* (Loud laughter.) • Beplying to a Tote of thanks, Mr Chamberlain said the friendly societies seed h»ve no fear of undie interference by the State any scheme for old age pensions they might devise, The hands of the State were already fall enough. Political movements, he did not believe, hm any chance of success, but if a scheme wag devised by the friendly iooletifss and presented to Parliament bo honestly believed their influence would be great enough to carry it through. m ___ mma-mmmmm _ mimmmmim^mi

The Scotch in New Zealand.

from an article it the Dnndee Advertiser on the "Scotch in Anstra- Jasra" we take the following:—W^ho inhabit this delectable land, this Koh i-noor of the Southern Seas (New Zealand}? English, Irish, and bcotp, with a relatively larger proportion of Scots. The population numbers 760, 000, which may or may not include the 40,000 Maorifl. In the South of the t-outfa Island is the Ofcago province, with ite chief town Dunedin; This is the Scotch colony* In the north of this is the Canterbury provincp, with its chief town, Ohrisfchurch. » settle inanfc of the Ohurcn of England, The remainder was settled in the ordinary course, receiving a certain Scottish element. Of Donedin Mark Twain writes that "the people are Scotch. They (Scots) stopped ..there dn their w»y from home to heaven, thinking tb*t they had arrived." A more sober writer reviewing tbR result ac the present day of that; early settlement,, after BUtn»nfcri6ing the detail of their industry writes:—"The God of Bet hal led these Presbyterian pioneers to a land richer than their fondest dreams had imagined, and right nobly have th**y developed It.' ' Among the 70 Parliamentary representatives,' sr.ys the Eon W P Keeves ' there is Beldom more than one Smith, or Brown, or Jones, but the usaal number of Mc- Kenssies is three.' If there ie a fine churcfi anywhere in the Otago province I was told it was certain to be Pttibyterian,
