Archer) at the civic reception which he tendered to the Right Hon. L. M. Amery and Mrs Amory (states the Lyttelton “Times.”) “We had some stupid fellow from Australia.” said Mr Arener, “who made soma stupid remarks about our Maori race in general and our relations with the Maori race in particular. I fiope and believe the Maori people have not taken him as in any way representing our views.— (Applause.) Between us and fhe Maori folk there is a very close friendship.
