Mv. William Ferguson Massey, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, ha? •visited London Guildhall to accept the freedom of the City. He said: "A great British historian once predicted that a New Zcalander would stand on London Bridge and look down upon the ruins of this great city. So far the prediction has not liven fulfilled, hoi do I think it is likely to be. "On the contrary, there are many thousands of New Zealanders in London at the present tirnn, moat of whom have passed over one or other of its bridge?. They have seen modern Juildings anil modern improvements, but no sign of j decay
"As one of those. New Zealanders who ere opinion that the Empire will stand foi all time, so I believe London will be its capital until the last trumpet sounds—the Imperial.City, the Mecca of the British, proud, but kindly and hospitable to the kindred of its citizens and the stranger within its gates."
