ARCHBISHOPMANNIX.

"Iwouldregardwithdeepsuspicion andwithgraveconcernanyGovernmentpolicythatwoulddrawyoung mothersawayfromtheirhomes,"

Thestrongcampaignofprotestby theCatholicnewspapersoftheCommonwealthagainsttherumouredextensionofthepublicnurserysystemto attractmothersofyoungchildreninto industryandagainstadvertisementdesignedtosecurethesameend,has beencrownedwithimmediatesuccess.

TwoFederalMinistershavegiven assurancesthatthispolicywillnotbe pursued.Theoffendingadvertisement hasbeenwithdrawnfromMelbourne newspapers, Anotablefeatureofthecampaign wasthesupportwhichwasgivenby theAnglicanArchbishopofMelbourne (MostRev.J.J.Booth,D.D.)tothe publicprotestvoicedbytheCatholic Archbishop(MostRev,D,Mannix, D.D)againstthispolicy.

Dr.Mannixdeclared:

"Ifwomenhavetofacewarworkit isaregrettablenecessity.Surelythe lastwomentobecalledon,ortobe accepted,foranyworkthattakes themawayfromtheirhomesareyoung marriedwomenwithfamilies, "IhopeAustraliawillsetherface resolutelyagainstanyfurtherattack onthesacrednessoffamilylife.I wouldregardwithdeepsuspicionand withgraveconcernanyGovernment policythatwoulddrawyoungmothers awayfromtheirhomesandtheirchildrenandembarkonlarge-scaleprovisionofnurseriesandcrechesforchildren."

InaninterviewwiththeMelbourne "Herald"onthefollowingday,Dr, Boothsupportedthisattitudeinthe followingwords:

"Theremustbespecialcircumstances whereamotherwascompelledtoearn herlivelihood,whenshemustoffer herselfforemploymentatthebestpossiblerate.Butasageneralrule,it wouldbeentirelywrongfortheState todeprivechildrenofahome,with thecareandattentionwhich,inmy opinion,onlyamothercouldgive."

"IhopetheGovernmentwillavoid anycompulsioninthismatter,ifsuch athingisinitsmind:'

Commentingupontheprinciple whichhasbeenraisedbythetwo Churchleaders,theMinisterofMunitions(Mr.Makin)declaredthathe fullyconcurredwiththeattitudethat themothersofyoungfamiliesshould notbeseparatedfromtheirchildren byreasonofworkinfactories.

Theattitudewhichhadbeentaken upbythetwoArchbishopswasfollowedbyaprotestofthemembersof alldenominationsofQueenscliff("V.) toMr.Dedman,whoisnotonlyMinisterforWarOrganisationofIndustry, buttheFederalMemberforCorio,in whichQueenscliffisincluded.

Theprotestwasthusworded:

"Thatthismeeting,representativeof ChristianChurchesinQueenscliff, stronglyprotestsagainsttheemploymentofmarriedwomenwithfamilies onwarwork,andviewswithalarmthe suggestionthatchildrenshouldbeleft inthecareofotherpeople.Thehome isthebasisofChristiansociety,and canneverbesubstitutedbythecreche.
