PERTINENT QUESTIONS
Aus.tra.lia wants am indemnity from Germany, and why not? Why not ;also New Zeniondi These are ; pertinent questions, aaid the National i Werament suouli see to it that j jNew. Zealand's claims are, not overj looked.-. The matter has been well P ut >y Sir Joseph Ward. Speaking ,in Wellington, he said:—"l hnmv ; that the people of New Zealand will agree with me wfien I say that we | will not be satisfiedl unless, the last j penny piece of indemnity ip'extract--5 ed from a blackguardly and ruthless foe, if only fo r the paw-pose of teaching the nations that have been as- : *ooi«ted wiitih Germany thai it will never pay them to be connected iagam with the bloodthirsty scbund- | rels who have tried to domdnate . the world. I hare no sympathy with tie country that started this war. I regard it as an aibsokte hoi-roi* of the civilised times in which we live that'6ne main, or a fem^ mien at the head of an autocra.tic system of government in. Germany, sihouid be aible to plunge the whole world into war. I believe that one of the retributions that is going to overtake the . rulers" of Germany is ihiait their country will become a republic, with tihe people themselres rulmg."
