In the New Zealand Railways Magazine for September, “ Tangiwai ” urges Wellington’s right to hold in 1940 a Centenary Exhibition, and also discusses the Auckland project of a Centenary Pageant. It should “ reproduce scenes that live in our history—the early contact of pakeha and Maori in peace and war, the coming of the pioneer ships, the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, some of the stirring episodes of the wars, the old-time regiments, the picturesque Maori life of the days when New Zealand was young.” It will cost money—but perhaps by 1940 the slump will be over.
