NEW ZEALAND AND THE MOTHERLAND.
SPEECH BY SIR JAMES ALLEY,
London, June 23
Sir James Allen, the newly-appo-inted High Commissioner for Xew Zealand, speaking at a Victoria League meeting at ‘the Guildhall, warmly repudiated the suggestion that Xew Zealand does not welcome the British wives of Xew Zealand soldiers. He hoped Britain would send an equal number of men to marry Xew Zealand wives. Ho reminded the Imperial statesmen that the relations of the ILrtuinions with the Motherland were materially changed since the war. Xew Zealand was now growing up. Her signature to the Peace Treaty and her membership of the League of Nations amounted to recognition of Xew Zealand as a separate entity. There were in the future possibilities of separation and independence, although. probably less in New Zealand than elsewhere, hut’Sir .Limes .Mien urged closer co-operaiion to mainlain and strengthen the unity of Empire.
Lord Foster eulogised the Victoria League’s work in Australia and the oilier Dominions.
