PEACE CELEBRATIONS.
GOVERNMENT ASKED TO CLIMB DOWN. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. A meeting of the executive of the Peace Celebrations Committee was field tonight. Mr. H. Holland (ex-Mayor) said he regretted that the Government had made arrangements for celebrating peace without waiting to fall in line with the rest of the Empire. He would like to think the whole Empire would be celebrating peace at the same time. Mr. A. F. Carey said he did not think New Zealand should be celebrating peace prematurely before the rest of the Empire. He suggested that the Government should be asked to hold its hand and elimb down rather than that New Zealand should make a laughing stock of itself. He moved that strong representations be made to the Government that peace celebrations be held throughout the British Empire simultaneously. Several other members supported Mr. Carey's motion, which was carried unanimously.
