THE WAITANGI ORATION by THE HON. J. R. HANAN Although by the time this appears, Waitangi will be long past, we feel that the Hon J. R. Hanan's address was of such eloquence and distinction as to warrant its record in a more permanent form than its abridged quotations in newspapers. This is the full text of Mr Hanan's speech. Your Excellencies, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen: Today, for the first time, we celebrate Waitangi Day as New Zealand's National Day, under the Statute of 1960. On this day, 121 years ago, the Treaty of Waitangi was signed here—and a new nation was born.
