A German Colony?
"If this war should result in :■ triumph for the powers of evil—which God forbid—and I think He will forbid it, New Zealand wilt be without doubt one of the prizes and will become a German colony,” declared the Hon. W. Perry, M.L.C.. president of the New Zealand Returned Soldiers' Association, in his farewell message to the men of the Special Force in Wellington “Men of the First Echelon, you will be lighting for something even more than the freedom of this small nation. This monster’who rules Germany has torn down the Cross of Christ from its altars and erected in its place the swastika, or the cr'ooked cross of paganism. You don’t need to read in books what you are lighting for or what our war aims arc. You know that you are lighting to rid Europe and the world once and for all of the terror and menace of Nazi ruthlessness and Nazi paganism.”
