A tribute to the speeches made by the Governor-General, Lord Bledisloe, was paid by Mr John Alexander, president of the Overseas League at the opening of the league’s new clubrooms last evening. “I saw some days sago that steps are being taken to preserve the speeches which were made at the recent consecration of the Colours,” said Mr Alexander. “I had just finished reading, o r rather re-reading, a report of a speech made by His Excellency during the jubilee celebrations of our university. That speech seemed even more cultured and more charming than tne hirrh standard of HA Excellency’s speeches to which we have become accustomed. His Excellency Was taken such an interest in all classes of the community and in the avocations and problems of this little country’s that his speeches if collated and preserved, would in the years that iare to come bo of great historic value and a wonderful record of our present times.”
