MANY MESSAGES OF SYMPATHY

(P.A.) WELLINGTON, June 1. "Words fail to express the profound sorrow of the Arawa confederation of tribes at the passing of a great and affectionate tower of human strength in loyalty to the Throne, love to his soldier comrades, and an inspiring belief in the destiny of New Zealand in the counsels of the world in peace and war,” says a message received by the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser) from Mr H. Tai Mitchell, on behalf of the Arawa Trust Board, expressing sympathy in the death of Mr Coates, The message added: "To-day the Maori race mourns; but mingled with its tears and grief runs pride that our country is rich in men like Gordon Coates,” Other messages of sympathy received by Mr Fraser include those from the Slavonic Council of New Zealand, the Wellington branch of the Navy League, the Ngatiwai Maori tribe, the Wellington Hebrew congregation, the Canterbury District Committee of the Communist Party of New Zealand, the Union Steam Shin Company, the British General Electric Company, and several local_bodies i _ j ______ BOOK OF THE DAY ESSAYS ON SCIENCE Time: The Refreshing River.
