THE PIONEERS
TRIBUTE BY SIR NEWTON MOORE
'.'"I realise that this country is a most expensive country to develop," said Sir Newton Moore, M.P. for Eichmond in the House of Commonsj and a former Premier of West Australia, in an address at the New Zealand Club to-day. "Nearly everywhere I go I see deep cuttings and banks alongside your roads and railways. , In saying this I have, of course,"West'Australia in my mind. When. I looked at the great forests on the way from Botoma to the Waitomo Caves, I could not but admire the spirit, enterprise, and rugged perseveranco of/the old pioneers. They were the men who made this country and Australia. They were determined to persevere; and it behoves those of us who are'their descendants to try and act with the same spirit. We should realise that our difficulties' at the present time are comparatively trivial as compared with the difficulties of those pioneers." :
