PROTEST AGAINST PREMATURE CELEBRATIONS.
(Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, May 8. At a meeting of the executive of the Peace Celebrations Committee to-night, Mr. H. Holland (ex-Mayqr) said he regretted that, the Government had made arrangements for celebrating Peace without waiting to fall in line with th*rest of the Empire. He would like to think the whole Empire would be celebrating Peace at the same time. Mr. A. F. Carey said he did not think New Zealand should be celebrating Peace prematureh before the rest of the Empire. He suggested that the Government should be asked to hold its hand and climb down rather than that New Zealand should make a laughing stock of itself. He moved that strong representations be made to the Government that the Peace celebration be held throughout the British Empire simultaneously. Several other members supported Mr. Carey's motion, -which was carried unanimously.
