BSI Mission Still Seek WD Compensation
THE Rev. A. H. Scrivin, general secretary of Foreign Mission Board of the Methodist Church of New Zealand, travelled to the Solomon Islands in mid-August to appeal to the Rt. Hon. John Dug dale (British Minister for Colonial Affairs) concerning his Mission’s war-damage claims. The Mission lost all its buildings on the islands of New Georgia, Vella Lavella and
Choiseul (as well as in Bougain ville and Buka, which are in TNG).
The NZ Methodist Times of August 25 said the Mission’s war damage claims “have so far met with no response as far as the British Solomon Islands are con cerned.”
Owing to his overcrowded pro gramme in Fiji, Mr. Dugdale could
not see Mr. Scrivin in Suva.
