DR. HERTZ
WELCOMED AT WELLINGTON
The Chief Rabbi, Dr. Hertz, was welcomed at a Wellington civic recep-, tion to-night. Expressing thanks for the cordiality of the welcome, Dr. Hertz remarked that liberty and toleration were the reigning factors in the life of the people of New Zealand, and this was specially welcome in view of the wave of intolerance sweeping across Western countries. New Zealand had the healthiest climate and people, and the country was an experimental laboratory of intellectual ideas and civilisation. The people realised that the clock of progress sometimes needed winding, and that constant and violent winding caused the clock to stop. The ideal of tolerance and liberty seemed nearer realisation in the Southern Hemisphere than in the Northern, and he was not sure it had not already been realised.
