EARLY SETTLERS' AND HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION
Sir,—What the association wants is a. powerful working committee to have a tow live wnes with some {finger to push on their clforty to place more complete information before the public to enablt them to shirs the life, thougiits, and traditions of the early people who, link by link, helped to .make Ts'ew Zealand what sho is bo-day. The association should show more of the grand resources of the Dominion with her great forests, tho great wealth of metals, minerals, marble, granite, eh. No wonder Sir Charles Dilke, in 'his work, calls New Zealand the "Fair Britain of the South." How the men and women of New Zealand would value tho present Hon. G. W. Knssell, Minister a". Internal Affairs, if, on bohalf of the Government, ho made arrangements with regard to 'the iCsO,ofio Turnbull Library so that the people of the Dominion could have before them a complete reference libarary of the early history of the Dominion, showing the building up of Now Zealand from 18-10 to 1918.- What a transformation 6ceno appears before me! From 18G6 to 1918 have I seen tho Empire City grow.—l am, etc., W. W. COKBETT. Kilbirnie.
