BEGIN AT THE BOTTOM
LORD CRAIG AVON’S ADVICE By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, February 5. A largely attended and cordial reception was given by the New Zealand Ulster Association to Lord and Lady Craigavon at the Town Hall, when the visitors were presented with suitable New Zealand gifts. Lord Craigavon was given a beautiful easket of New Zealand woods, and Lady Craigavon a case of spoons. In the course of his speech, in reply, Lord Craigavon traced the history of the legislation in Northern Ireland since the separation from the south, which, he claimed, had had most beneficial results. His advice to New Zealand was:—“Begin at the bottom, and try to help those who are least able to help themselves. Do everything you can to cement the loyalty of the people and the loyalty of the Empire. When I return Home, there will not be a stauncher man who has ever spoken in the interests of New Zealand, not even my old friend the late Mr Massey than I, when I will extol the virtues of your beautiful country.”
