BUSH PRESERVATION
WIDESPREAD INTEREST
(J3y Telegraph.—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day.
The Minister of Internal Affairs (the Hon. . AY. E. Parry) said today that he had been told it would be difficult to move New Zealanders into enthusiasm on questions like the.saving of native bush, that they were too much commercially-minded to be interested in trees. "I have proved that statement to be a libel en the people of this country," said Mr. Parry. "In almost every mail that reaches my desk in Parliament House there is a letter, sometimes two or three, from citizens, some of them on the land, bemoaning the threatened fate of a belt of native trees and ferns in a particular district. These' communications come from all parts of the Dominion, some from the far north and some from the far south."
