N.Z. HISTORY
MR. J. A. LEE’S PROPOSAL The opinion that the Labour Government would have to set up an editorial board of three to write the history of the provinces of New Zealand, which teemed with examples ot human efforc, was expressed by Mr. J. A. Lee, Parliamentary Under-Sec-retary to the Prime Minister, at Runanga on Thursday (states the Press). The time had now arrived, said Mr. Lee, and it would be a pity to delay it much longer. In Westland there were still some of those who could remember the early days. They would have to establish a board and pay the members of it well, he continued. It would be a big job, but they would have to have a record of the men and vvomenwho pioneered the country. He did not know of any worthier effort. They had •to have that cultural something as well as that materialistic something.
