The story of the seal affixed to the Peace Treaty, as part of the signature on New Zealand's behalf, told by the Priin c Minister, the Rt. Hon. W\ F, Massey, varies considerably . from the account cabled by the -Australian correspondent, Mr: Keith Murdoch. The latter stated that Sir. Massey, aftei^searchihg Paris, j finally m a pawnshop, a heavy ancient seal, bearing the letters N.Z., and affixed an impression of it to the treaty.

The Prime Minister . also inferred that ithe description of the article as a "heavy ancient seal" was a literary flourish, not borne out by fact. „ Spring ia coming, and the gardener will soon get. busy.
