"I am certainly of the opinion that there should he a national memorial to the late Prime Al inister,” stated Sir John Findlay, Ktn a New Zealand Times representative. ‘‘But I say that the claim upon the public of New Zealand to recognise by an appropriate monument the public lile nud work of Mr Alasscy is so clear that there ought to la* no talk ot public- .subscript ions. In Mr Seddon’s case it was felt that his services amply justified the Government ill finding the money requisite for the memorial ; and if any dillereiiee wore made between the two men. it would amount to an invidious distinction against Air Ala—cy. which, of course, should fie avoided. That is my view of the matter.”
