“Mr. Massey is a great man, and I have the greatest respect for him, but he should not ‘turn down’ anyone in the House who wants to advertise New Zealand and to let the people of Great Britain know more about you,” said Mr. Bransby Williams at Auckland. “With all due respect to the Prime Minister, as a Britisher vis’ting New Zealand, studying its methods and its progress, and speaking with enthusiasm and admiration,” continued Mr. Williams, “I say the public of Great Britain know less of New Zealand than of any of the other colonies. When I was in Canada the Governor-General, Ijord Byng, asked me to go back to England and talk Canada. Well, no one in this country has asked me to go back and talk New Zealand, but that is what I am ftoing to do. I am sure there are hundreds of thousands who know nothing of New Zealand, and surely there is no harm In a member of Parliament getting up and saying more should be done. With the greatest pride in the world, when I return, I shall let the people of Great Britain know what you are and what you are ! doing.” (Applause.) At the City Market on Friday Messrs. Sturm and Phillips will sell by public auction on account, of farmer leaving th© district, a very fine assortment of farm tools, accessories, household furniture, etc, as advertised in another column,
