LORD CRAIGAVON
Reception at Wellington.
WARM ADMIRER OF NEW ZEALAND.
Wellington, Feb. 5 A largely attended and cordial reception was given by the New Zealand Ulster Association to Lord and Lady Craigavon in the town hall, when the visitors were presented with suitable New Zealand gifts Lord Craigavon was given a beautiful casket of New Zealand woods, and Lady Craigavon a case of spoons. In the course of his speech in reply Lord Craigavon traced the history of legislation in Northern Ireland since its separation from the South, which he claimed had had most beneficial results. His advice to New Zealand was—“ Begin at the bottom and try to help those who are least able to help themselves. Do everything you can to cement the loyalty of people and the loyalty of the Empire. - When 1 return home there will not he a stauncher man who has ever spoken in the interests of New Zealand, not even my old friend the late Mr Massey, than I, when I extol the virtues of your beautiful country.”
