ARCHBISHOP JULIUS.
OBJECTS TO OATH OF ALLEGIANCE. Christchurch, Yesterday. Interviewed to-day on his return from Australia, Archbishop Julius referred to the “waving of the flag,” question. He said that as a citizen of the British Empire for 75 years lie deprecated having to sign a form of allegiance on returning to New Zealand after an absence of about a fortnight. Surely he did not change his politics or his regard for the Empire within a fortnight. He had noticed in Australia no aggressive national sentiment such as existed in New Zealand. Though he had been over two years away from New South Wales he had to sign nothing at all when: he arrived at Sydney. The authorities there had taken no account of him not even medically, hut coming into New Zealand was apparently a very serious matter. Concerning the Labour Government, His Grace said that he had heard little about it except abuse. The general feeling was that the perfect democratic government had not yet arrived. At present it was not the best men who came to the lore but the mediocrities.
