Thoughts For The Times
He BmirsH. Being British means'several tilings; apd there is certainly no country more stolidly and uiu'epontanfjy .British than this Doininon of Npw Zealand. Being British means first of all that we arc all keen about our own rights, and that we cjing on to what we consider to be our due, It also means that if we have quarrels amongst ourselves we settle them with common sense and fairness to all. But it also means—and above everything else—that iocal controversies do not in any way effect our common devotion to British freedom and to British justice, and to the unity of the great Empire which our o}vn hands have made. I feel that nothing can ever really go wrong with our British Empire if we keep our British temper and our British ideals.— Princp Edward at Wellington.
