PEACE CELEBRATIONS.
CABINET'S DECISION. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The following statement has been made by Sir James Allen today with reference to the time for commencing peace celebrations: "Cabinet has agreed that after we hear that peace has been signed it will be better for the local authorities not to commence celebrations on the next succeeding Sunday, but on the Sunday after that; in other words, on the Sunday week following the receipt of the advice. That will give them a week or more, so that they may have time to make preparations. The memorandum issued by the Minister for Internal Affairs still stands. In other 'respects the celebrations will be continued on Monday and Tuesday, but they are postponed for a Week. Should any indication come from the Imperial Government indicating it has adopted any definite date for the celebration, of peace it will still be opehi to us to reconsider the question, and We Very likely would do so to come into line with the Imperial Government.
