“One important' thing we should remember is that, irrespective of differences in politics, religion, and other personal beliefs, we are one nation under the British flag, proud of our country and its history, and most of us. I know, are very proud indeed of our British inheritance. flieve we can have our political di.. * ices, and still stand shoulder to shoulder as new Zealanders. The state of the world today is a lesson to us in the folly of disunity and intolerance. I hope and belive that we shall be able to march forward in friendship, whatever political changes the coming years may bring forth. “May I conclude by extending Christmas greetings and good wishes for the coming year? We have gone through troublous times and survived a tremendous challenge to our way ol fife. Therefore this is, above all, a time of thankfulness and rejoicing. We can make merry this Christmas with glad hearts.”

came again with a good movement, then Hall failed with a field goal. Chapman kept the pressure on with a fine corner flat line-kick, but the play was edged back to near half-way and then the game finished with the most spectacular movement of the day. The backs and forwards joined in a passing rush, the ball going out to Argus, who swerved infield, passing several men before being downed. He got the ball away and Kearney was on hand to gather a pass and send on to Thornton, who crashed over in a corner in a tackle, Cook kicking yet another magnificent goal, and the game ending 30 to nil. This match was regarded as a dress rehearsal for the Wednesday game against the unbeaten Cardiff side, who have payed 16 games and arc acclaimed the best team in Britain at present. Success in 10-day’s back line indicates that the New Zealanders have found the best rearguard combination, and with the forwards the problem will be that of elimination. Tne team leaves for Cardiff on Monday and, in view of heavy commitments in Wales, celebrates Christmas this evening witn a party of “Tuis” in the Fearnleaf Club.
