Most of the Opposition members were against the Iron and Steel Bill before the House on Thursday. They were averse to competing with Britain, that is if the State started the industry, but if private enterprise took over the industry it was a horse of quite a different colour! ‘•All the dailv newspapers except one were in step in opposition to the Government. There was not a Jock among them. There was a critical leading article every morning ami every evening religiouslv. There would be one or two following this speech. That made it interesting,” said the Hon. M. J. Savage. Prime Minister, in a recent address. "Remarkable scenes marked the final ceremonial in connection with the Roman Catholic centenary celebrations, the unveiling of a memorial at Totara Point. Hundreds of Maoris took part in the proceedings, and the occasion is excellently pictured in this week’s issue of the New Zealand Free Rance. The oeneral social and sporting sections once more have their usual variety of brightly-written stories ami paragraphs, and there is something of interest for everyone. stated Mr S. G. Holland (Christchurch North) in speaking in the House of Representatives on Thursday night in the debate on the Iron and Steel Bill. There are many in Kaikoura who put money into the Onckaka Company. We doubt if they would favour private enterprise having anything further to do with the valuable iron deposits of Onckaka.

The Miniature Rifle Club opened its season at the Drill Hall on ATonday

night when there was a good muster of riflemen. Air H. Hayward, president, referred to the necessity for changing over to the Drill Hall, and asked the co-operation of members in making the season a success. As there was a number of new members firing at the targets for the first time the scores were not available. The late Mr E. A-T. Smith, father of Air S G. Smith, member for New Plymouth never let. an occasion go by without expressing the importance of the iron sand on the shores of New Plymouth. The present member does not favour the valuable deposits being worked by the State for the benefit of the people of Xew Zealand, but would have no hesitation in parcelling out the deposits to a private company who would then beseech the Government to part with one-third of the people’s money to assist it.
