OUR GOOD NAME
HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM IN BRITAIN. IftPhen addressing Palmerston North Lunch Club Mr T. R. Hodder, who recently returned from, a trip abroad, said that the New Zealander was held in high esteem in the Old Country. Mr Hodder thought that this was due to the name earned by the New Zealand soldiers during the Great War, and the fine impression gained of New Zealand Premiers who had attended the Imperial Conferences; of these, the late Mr W. F. Massey was probably the best known., We have never tried to cut ourselves off from the Empire, and we have always been content to be dependent on the Old Country,” said Mr Hodder. “Unlike Australia, we have never wanted our own navy; we have never wanted to appoint our own Governor-General; what is more, we have never thought of repudiating our debts.”
