PACIFIC ISLANDS.
THEY MUST NOT GO BACK. “So far as avg are concerned they shall never go back to the Germans,” said Sir Joseph Ward, referring to the Pacific Islands taken from the Germans, at Wellington on Thursday. If the British Government let those go back there Avouid he a heap of trouble piled up in the shape of Avireless stations, submarine bases, and coaling stations, he held. “Our business is to the very death to fight to see that our flag is kept flying, that Hag Avhieh our hoys planted there. “Our duty lies’at the heart of tho Empire to see that that heart is beating right out through the arteries, right over the whole Empire.” The saving of the British Empire comes before everything, and by doing this avc will make safe civilisation and Christianity for the ages to come. Because of that men Avere prepared to sacrifice everything.
