PUBLIC NOTICES. TO OUR AMERICAN VISITORS TT is gathered from conversations between some of our own people and our visitors that they find some difficulty in understanding the position which these small islands hold, i.e., cpmplete self-government, yet bound by no other visible tie than allegiance to our King. The position is made quite clear in a book held sacred by both Americans and the British. No wonder, Mr American, you are puzzled when our own people show such blindness. Now I venture to give the explanation. First, put from your minds the idea that the British Kingdom or Empire is a “Commonwealth of Nations”—it is not. The word “Commonwealth” infers a common treasury—there is no such thing; it was used as a concession to grumbling politicians, but is diametrically opposite to facts. The correct explanation is to be found in the Almighty’s promise or covenant to the British people, and this promise includes the United States of America, for the word “British” is derived from the Hebrew word meaning a covenant, i.e., “Brith,” and “ish” is people, hence British. Thus the word British in its original meaning includes the U.S.A, and also kindred peoples, and of what was foretold of them much has come to pass, and still more is coming today. Most of the Americans have British blood in them, for they were their ancestors. It was foretold that you would come and help us, and this you have done. A company requires a head or President—well, the King is our President, so to speak, and to him we show allegiance for the common good, and also in accordance with that foretold in the book. Yours faithfully, FRANK WHITE. Eketahuna. EARTHQUAKE ACCOUNTS.
