GOOD CITIZENSHIP
THE THREE MAIN GUIDES. SPEECH BY GOVERNOR-GENERAL. (Per United Press Association.) Whangarei, January 17. Speaking at the civic welcome on his first visit to Whangarei and the far north, the Governor-General, Sir Charles Fergusson, spoke of the loyalty and appreciation of the duties of citizenship and self reliance as the three main guides of citizenship. During the recent Imperial Conference they had seen the world’s equality, independence and autonomy frequently used and doubtless the principles laid down in respect to these were absolutely sound but they were used in different degrees and sounded somewhat new to them. Not that they greatly affected New Zealand because the Dominion was always at the back of the Mother Country but the present day link of the Empire was one of common interest in mutual kinship, race tradition and history. Children learnt that every day but in New Zealand more closely co-related new problems would confront her and it was essential that these ideas should be kept up.
Their Excellencies spend to-morrow in town then go north.
