A WISE SPEECH.
Received November 28, 9.50 p.m LONDON, November 27.
Mr. Massey, at Londonderry, received the freedom of the city. Speaking at a subsequent luncheon at the Guildhall, Mr. Massey uttered a strong warning against allowing the peace party., now an insignificant minority, to become any stronger. New Zealand was going to be the centre of an important island confederation in the Pacific. It was now taking vigorous steps to eliminate enemy trade. He was sorry to think some of the leading British statesmen were not more enthusiastic in promoting closer Empire union. A commencement could be made now. Above all, there must never be the party question. If so, he feared the outlook would not be very good.
