THE RECENT EPIDEMIC.
QUESTION OF INTRODUCTION; "In connection with, the epidemic which occurred in New Zealand at the end of last year, many false statements have been made as far as Mr. Massey and myself are concerned," said Sir Joseph Warl at the civic reception at Auckland. Th"; Minister's allusion to the epidemic was occasioned by an interjector, who asked: "Who brought the epidemic?" Sir ,Id Ward said a number of people h::i: been making false statements regarding iiie matter for political gain, If he had been, in New Zealand-when the Epidemic Commission was taking -evidence ho would have volunteered to make a statement. Before any decision was made in regard to the berthing of the Niagara 011 October 12 last yei\r, he personally told the ship's doctor that he was to be treated in exactly the same fashion as the other passengers, and no person" should be allowed on board because he happened to be a passenger. Mr. Massey spoke to the doctor to the same effect. Certain people in New Zealand were guilty of dishonorable conduct in blaming Mr. Massey and the speaker for wljut they had not done. (Applause),
