GENERAL EXPRESSES REGRET
\ r / WELLINGTON, Sept. 7. ' Major-General Sir Howard Kippenberger, in a statement torbay in Teference to his remarks last w^ek concerning the Afrikanders, said: 1 suppose I am due for the cane now being administered.^ My remark about 'damned . Afrikanders' was quite improper and I unreservedly express my regret for naving made it. "The occasion was an informal meeting at which I discussed various ex-servicemen's problems with about 80 members of the Christchurch Returned Servicemen's Association. It was not a public meecing- a-nd I emphasised that my opinion as to whether we should acquiesce in the exclusion of Maoris was my own and not the accepted opinion of my association. I am very sorry indeed that I allowed myself to make these objectionable remarks."
