In tho vcourse of a lecture in Christchurch recently, on Norway and its scenery, Dr Thacker dwelt for a few moments on the good colonising qualities of the German people. Ho introduced the subject by paying a tribute to the Land for Settlements Act of New Zealand, and added that in Australia there was too much land for the people available to go on it. 'What should bo done, ho said, was to invito German colonists to settle on tho land, and so create an Anglo-German race that would be ready when the time came as it inevitably must come,’ to repel an Asiatic invasion. Then the Germans and Britons could meet the danger like brothers, instead of being at w,ar themselves.
