Mr Mnssoy, interviewed legardiug the Dominion's participation in the war, said:—"We have simply dono our duty to the Motherland and ourselves, because wo realised that our liberty and progress were threatened almost as greatly as those of the older communities. New Zealand is prepared to make whatever further sacrifices are demanded." Referring to the post-war conditions, be said he could foresee the day when the Empire's reconstruction would prove the supreme question. Patriotic and Imperial sentiments would not suffice. "We need more clear thinking and definite plans, decisive and immediate action. We must utilise our material and other resources to tighten up the in-ter-Empire and Dominion relations, which preferential treatment would promote and exepdite. We must erect impenetrable barriers against German post-war trade attacks. Then we shall stand before the. world a united nation—Britain invincible and indissoluble in peace or war. '
