STATEMENT' BY ACTING PRIME MINISTER.
(Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, May 8. The following statement was made by oir Jas. Allen to-day with reference to the time for commencing Peace Celebrations:—Cabinet has agreed thatafter we hear that Peace has been signed it would be better for local authorities not to commence their celebration on the next succeeding Sunday, but on the Sunday after that fin other words or, the Sunday week following the receipt of the advice). That will give them a week or more, so that they may have time to make their preparations. The memorandum issued by the Minister^ of Internal Affairs still stands in othei 1 respects. The celebrations will continue on Monday and Tuesday, but they are postponed for a week. Should any information come to us from the Imperial Government indicating that it has edepted any definite date for the celebration of Peace, it is still open to us to reconsider the question, and we very likely would do so in order to come into line with the Imperial Government.
