THE FLYING BISHOP.
APPEAL FOR ENTERPRISE.
BREAKING THE OIL TRUST.
Opotiki, March 13. Bishop Cleary and the pilot of the seaplane which brought him here from Auckland yesterday were entertained at dinner last night by the citizens. Replying to the toast of his health, Bishop Cleary emphasized that the credit for the trip was due to Messrs. Walsh Brothers and Dexter of Auckland. It was due to the enterprise of these gentlemen that New Zealand was able to send a band of aviators whose work in the war made him proud to be associated with New Zealanders. He was noyv endeavouring to adopt this great instrument of locomotion to the service of peace, and urged citizens to be more enterprising. Speaking of the benzine famine Bishop Cleary referred to the possibilities of securing supplies of oil from the gumfields, coal slack, and sawdust, which is now allowed to rot. He added a warning that as soon as production from these sources became a menace to oil trusts an attempt would be made to burst them up. He hoped the Government in power would be strong enough to prevent this.
