New Zealand is a small country. It ia, I believe, about the same size as Great Britain. It certainly does not equal in area the other self-governing Dominions, Eut, as we all know, quantity is not necessarily an index of quality. "Little New Zealand gives place to none, and deserves the title of Great as fully as any of the sister Dominions. That i believe to be absolutely true.

But let me revert to mare general topics. I was wondering the other day whether those who invented the Nex land flag did not design more wisely than they knew. Or had they actually in mind something more than the mere represente tion of the famous sign under which son live? Did they attach some special sym- bolical meaning to those four bright atars i I do not know perhaps the records of the time would tell. But it seems to me there is an inner meaning to that device and this would be my interpreta tion of it. One star must surely stand for Loyalty. In those distant islands there is a loyalty and devotion to the Throne which is unsurpassed throughout the length-und-breadth of the Empire Your country may-be 12,000, 13,000 miles away from Great Britain, but what of E.
