NEW ZEALAND NATIVE BUSH
THREATENED DESTRUCTION LETTERS TO MINISTER [By Telegraph-Press Association] AUCKLAND, This Day. The Hon..W. £. Parry, Minister of Internal Affairs, said to-day he had been told that it would be difficult to move New Zealanders into enthusiasm on questions like saving native bush—that they were too commercially mind* ed to be interested in trees. “I have proved that statement to be a libel on the people of this country,” said Mr Parry. “In almost every nihil that reaches my desk at Parliament House, there is a letter, sometimes two or three, from citizens, some of them on the land, bemoaning the threatened fate of a belt of native trees and ferns in a particular district. These communications come from all parts of the Dominion, some from the far north and some from the far south.
