BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION

DANNEVIRKE, July 12. The Hon. W. F. Massey, interviewed by a News reporter on the men question, said he stood by what he had said at Pukekohe about New Zealand's part in the war. All he could say at the present was that New Zealand was going to do her full share with the other nations of the world until th& war came to a satisfactory conclusion. Questioned regarding the possibility of a reduction in the reinforcements, Mr Massey said he could not mate a definite statement on that questionThere were at present four reinforcements in camp, and there would' be1 other reinforcements before the First Division came to an end, and by that time he would know the position better. "Bu,t 3 " said Mr Massey, "do- not let there be any mistake about it: New Zealand is going'to act up to the pledge given at the commencement of the1 war."
