'LINKED WITH HOMELAND FOR

ALL TIME."

BT TELEGRAPH—PKESB ASSOCIATION.

WELLINGTON, May 20. The following is thel text or Mi-Mas-sey's message to the Guildhall patriotic meeting in. London: New Zealand is .proud and pleased to do her share in the momentoiis crisis through which the Empire is passing. We are proud of our brave sons who took part in the great,battle at Gallipoli, and,' though many of them have left their bones in foreign soil they died the best of all deaths — they gave their lives for the Empire and their country. We have more New Zealahders coming, many thousands more of the same stamp and .the. : same stock eager .to take tlje- plsicee of /those ;whavhave^ falleii' "arid to assist a^jisoldiers •<>£/.;th»vßmg.^i|kf;:fie€i.ii^pi'g^/a-: victory,, for Brifein and , her A&es^ Though New Zealand is but a small country, all we are and all we have is at the.Empire's call. As" we join in its dangers and struggles, so shall we share in its victory and triumph when in His own good time God brings this great conflict to an end, and when full puniskment for the fiendish crimes and gross outrages perpetrated against humanity in this war has been justly visited upon German militarism. It is scarcely necessary for me to say that, not only in,this fight for our national honor, but also for ail time, New Zealand is unsparingly linked with the loved Homeland.—(Signed) .W. F. Massey, Prime Minister. i The High Commissioner to-day sent a cablegram stating that the message was received with great, enthusiasm and cheers. '
