WINSTON CHURCHILL
MONUMENT SUGGESTED
GROUNDS OP PARLIAMENT Parliamentary Reporter. WELLINGTON, this day. New Zealand should express its gratitude to what he called the "greatest Englishman of all time" by erecting a monument to Mr. Winston Churchill in the grounds of Parliament Buildings was suggested by Mr. Doidge (Nat., Tauranga), in the House of Representatives yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Doidge said tihe Government should take the matter up and give the people of the Dominion an opportunity of subscribing to such a testimonial. It would be over-subscribed overnight and subscribed a thousandfold. So much money would come to hand that it might be difficult to decide what to do with it all, but, he added with a smile, the Minister of Finance. Mr. Nash, would not be at a loss in devising ways and means of disposing of it. "I a,m certain," concluded Mr. Doidge, "that the Prime Minister, Mr. Fraser, and his colleague, Mr. Nash, are too big to brush aside this idea just because it has been put forward by someone on this side of the House."
