PROTECTION ASSURED
"There need be no uneasiness that the policy of the Government for the ■protection of New Zealand's native birds will be slackened in any circumstances," stated the Minister of Internal Affairs (the Hon. W. E. Parry) when the statement of Captain Sanderson on 'he proposed Whitney expedition was submitted for comment today. Permits- to take specimens of New Zealand birds were, the Minister said, frequently sought during the first two or three years of the Government's regime, but the applications did not now come. "I think it is well known here and overseas," added Mr. Parry, "that-New Zealand will countenance no interference with the protection placed on its native birds."
