Governor-General’s Faith in Future NEW YEAR MESSAGE By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, December 30. A New Year message from the Gov-ernor-General to the people of New Zealand is as follows: — “Lady Bledisloe and I greet you all with sincerity and friendship on the threshold of the New Year and cordially hope and pray that it may bring you health, happiness and prosperity. Economic tribulation has darkened the horizon during the last three rears and brought into many a home, as we are sadly conscious, impoverishment and waning hope forlthe future. “But the outlook is definitely brighter and there is good reason for believing that this New Year will open up new vistas of prosperity, improved employment and industrial revival. “Our message, therefore, to ypu pakeha and Maori alike of all classes and occupations—is one of gladness and of hope, conscious of your own rich inheritance in this land of sunshine. abundant future opportunity, and great natural resources, and. confident of the capacity of your virile and resourceful manhood and womanhood to utilise and develop them for the lasting welfare of your nation and yourselves. “It is with these personal hopes and convictions that we wish you all from our hearts a happy and prosperous New Year.”
