MASSEY TRADITION.
CARRIED ON BY MR COATES.
LONDON PAPER’S TRIBUTE
Received November 5, 10.45 a.m. LONDON, Nov. 4. The Times, commenting on the New Zealand election prospects, paid a tribute to Mr Coates for carrying on the Massey tradition, and calls attention to the fact that in the disheartening story of Empire settlement New Zealand is the only Dominion showing an increase in the total of British immigrants. “The people of this country,” states the Times, “will think gratefully of the courageous policy of Mr Coates and his Government.” The Times also calls attention to the fact that the election issue was complicated by the additional embarrassment of the prohibition referendum, adding: “This question is surely one for separate consideration and not to be dragged into controversies which have not the slightest hearing on the liquor laws.”—Times.
