Press Association—Copyright. WELLINGTON, This Day,

"New Zealand is extremely fortunate in her press," said the Gover-nor-General at th e Y.IYLC.A. when the anniversary of the founding of the institution i»a London was celebrated. "During the past twenty years I have travelled in almost every country, and I have formed

j the impression there is no more well informed, no purer, and no more enlightened press than ijs to be fou'.id in New Zealand. That I hope and believe is the case of supply and demand. Such a press is of enormous value to the country, and' the ministers of your churches should b e thankful it is so. As the representative of His Majesty in the Dominion it is gratifying for me to be able to say that your press is pure, clea'n, and honest, arid is showing that the way to progress is pointing upwards rather than downwards."
