THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL.
TERM OF OFFICE EXTENDED,
Auckland, June 21
The fact that the term of his appointment as Governor-General has been extended was referred to by His Excellency at the Orphans’ Club gathering on Saturday evening. He said he had been in New Zealand for five and a-half years, and had largely exceeded the average period for which (he representative of the .Sovereign remained in any of the Dominions. Those who had sent him to New Zealand had thought tit to ask him to remain longer, and he considered it a great honour and privilege to represent the King and the Empire in New Zealand at a period like the present. He was glad to have been able to help in New Zealand’s patriotic endeavours. Referring to the progress of the war, the Earl of Liverpool said the end did not appear to be likely in 1918. He had no more information in respect to this matter than any other person; possibly it would not be over in 1919. In 1915 the enemy thought the battle was to the strong and the race to the swift. In 1918 and onwards the battle would be to the strong. Perseverance and determination would see the Allies through to the end.
