“MAN’S EARTHLY PARADISE”
ELOQUENT TRIBUTE TO NEW ZEALAND LORD BLEDISLOE’S SPEECH IN ENGLAND United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received April 30, 7.0 p.m.) LONDON, April 30. “Mr R. J. Seddon described New Zealand as ‘God’s Own Country,’ but I call it man's earthly paradise,” writes Lord Bledisloe, supporting General Sir lan Hamilton's suggestion that New Zealand was one of the best places in the Empire to bring up a healthy, happy family. Lord Bledisloe adds: “Apart from scenic loveliness, incomparable climate, fertile soils and excellent sport, New Zealand is pre-eminently peopled with Nature’s gentlefolk. Nowhere in the world, considering all classes of both races, is the standard of education, refinement and culture higher or the people more warm hearted, hospitable and loveable."
