Appealing for greater loyalty to f e Motherland, Mr H. Holland, of ,; f-

church, at a meeting of the Justices of the Peace Association, said that the Old Country was a great power for good, and was ever the first to send aid to others whenever famine, pestilence, or other distress visited them. He had a passionate love for the old land, and it hurt him to hear it spoken disrespectfully of. (Hear, hear). Recently he had declined a valuable agenev for foreign-made machinery, bemuse he considered the .Motherland could supply all the country’s nerd..

Some of the distress in the Old Country was caused by money being sent to other lands. About 33 1-3 per cent on the total cost was lost in exchange v. lien doing business with America, and all should make it a point to give all the trade they could to the Mother Country, which had done so much foi them during the Great War.

The local Maoris were greatly disturbed when a part of Paritutu was blasted jiuay, stated a New Plymouth exchange. This sugar-loaf figures largely in their legends and traditions, being the rallying point of the Ngatiawa tribe in pre-European days, and serving as a lookout tower when the fertile lands and good fishing waters weie the objects of neighbouring tribes’ covetousness* “When l see ti Paritutu he make me ‘tigakau pouri (.sick at heart) said one old .Maori, who vowed to a “News” reporter that he would never again go to the breakwater or look towards the sugar loaf that modern needs demand should he disfigured, it not entirely destroyed. The Maoris’ regret is shared by many a pakelia, who, however, cannot have an improved harbour and unimpaired sugarloaves at the same time. The more utilitarian indeed, affirm that these pinaeles were purposely placed where they are to help man to protect and build a harbour that will serve the needs of the whole of the West Coasts of both islands, there being no other harbours except bar harbours, which cannot be made suitable for ocean-going ships.
