Excerpt from New Zealand at Home
New Zealand is called Britain of the South by its people, who are of the Anglo-Celtic race. One, therefore, expects to find them proud, self-respecting, and deliberate; not easy to move, and when moved difficult to thwart. These qualities meet the stranger everywhere, just as they do in the old land from which the people have come, with a leaning towards the independent side, subtle but distinct. The Duke of York touched a sympathetic chord when, in 1901, he called the New Zealanders 'chips of the old block.' When he said at the London Guildhall a little later that their chief want was an immigration system worked in connexion with the Mother Country, the approval was not quite so general: partly because the general feeling in the Colony is that no possible immigration system could hope for the great advantages which characterised the system which has made these islands an honour to the Anglo-Celtic race.
