EARLY PIONEERS
MRS. J. A. LEE REPLIES
Reference to criticism of her husband's remarks about the early pioneers of New Zealand was made by Mrs. J. A. Lee when ,speaking at Mr..' C. H. Chapman's meeting in St.Francis Hall, Hill Street, last evdning. . / •
"Both he and I believe that -the people who came from overseas in the early days came here to get away from the frightful conditions—for the most part—in a land 'where they could see no light, no hope," she said. "They came here to build a new land and a system of society that would yield to them and their children human decency. But there are people who would say that John Lee would try to make you believe that he had said something that was not nice about the early pioneers. I know no one who honours and desires to do more for the early pioneers ,of the Dominion than John Lee."
