the Cumalderable discusdon hawling problem took place at the monthly meeting of the Executive Committee of the Society for the Protection of Children, held on Mon day, with

with the Hon. Mr. 1. H. Kole- wall in the chair. Fears were ex- pressed that, if the Government em barks on a policy of extinction of Hawkers' licences, the work of the Society will be seriously impeded, and the view was expressed by some of the speakers that the only alter- natives to the present system are either the institution of a Poor Law zeller system by the Government, or increased grants to the Society.

Mr. Loseby also read a letter from the Superintendent of Imports and Export, dated October 9 stating that no more hawker: Heences for elgicettes were being issued.

Question of Subsidy

The Rev. H. W. Daines suid he should like to know whether. the Government had made any enquiry which did by

110 S

frami the gigile work among the f clases from whom hawkers were drawn: whether there was any in- dication that the Government were going to implement its hawker policy by the only practient alter- native, namely, the institution of a system of Pour Law relief; and what the policy of the Society would now be-whether it should ask for an ine erbased subsidy in view of the fact that one of the avenues previously used by the Society would be per- manently-bincked..........

Sir William Hurnell also thought that the question of the subsidy should be raised. All agreed that a mother was much better employed looking after her children than hawlding in the streets, but the fact was that many of the mothers with whom the Seciaty was concerned had no uther means of subsistence.

The Rev. H. W. Baines remarked that the relief of poverty in this Colony was regarded as too large and cumbersome to be done by the Government, which therefore made use of voluntary societies and sub- sidized them. Frankly, he could not understand the new policy with re- gard to hawkers; it was as if the Government removed one of

the hunds by which the socleties did their work and then said, "Get ou with the job."

The Hon. Mr. M. K. Lo said there might be some distinction, in the policy, regarding various kinds of hawkers. He felt some sympathy with the Government in the matter of food hawkers, but, so far as other hawkers were concerned, he thought for the the Soclety should press opposite policy, namely, free hawk- licences al all. ing, without any They should ask the Government whether it contemplated any change of policy, with a request that the Society be heard on the matter.

Mr. Losely said there was aspect of the matter which should not be overlooked, namely, that if hawkers' licences were to be taken away, a large number of families which from time to time found reliet in hawking would be forced to come to the Society for assistance, or else 'there would be R tremendous
