M. Felicien Challaye, Professor of • Philosophy at the Popular University, of f Evreux, who visited New Zealand some ... months ago, delivered a lecture at the University on “The Paradise of Work- > men: New Zealand,” on his return. The lecturer was most' eulogistic in his references to this colony, which, lie said, was distinguished: from all others by this twofold characteristic: Poverty lias entirely disappeared, and. each man can, by working, earn a good living. “ The experience of New Zealand,” he concluded, “ teaches the working-class the necessity for union and for political action ; if we have the republican spirit we shall long for the day on which the ’ workmen of France will follow the example of the workmen of New Zealand. , In learning lioiv to unite to make their condition and that of their comrades fail? and jut-;c they will bring the highest and strongest force to the service of th© Ideal.” : ,
