BETTER FROM EX-U.S.A. COXSO.

A\ntmg from Xew -lersey. U.S.A.. to wie Hon. Arthur Myers, under date of Apri-1 20, Mr. Wm. A. I'rickett. well renumbered here ns Consul for the United States, states that since he left ->ew Zealand, just a year before the , commencement of the war. he has had Awkland and his friends there in mind many times. His dau{r..tw has several correspondents in this city, so the familvhas kept in touch with the great sacrifices ot the New Zealand people in fulfil- ™ ont ° f part as a Dominion of the British Empire. "1 am triad to say." declares Mr. Prirkett, "that at no time in their history) nave file Inited States and (ireat Britain been nearer together in friendly sentiment than they are today. Now that Germany and Soviet Russia have gone into partnership, it is imperatively necessary for the allies who won bhe war to stand loyally together. Mr. Prickett refers to a relative, Mr. Guy Mailer, a young pianist, who, with an associate, Mr. Up Pattison. has been engaged to tour Australia and New Zen.and. "1 wish I were going with them," writes Mr. Prickett. "I can think of nothing that would give mc greater pleasure than to revisit New Zealand. My daughter fully endorses this sentiment, and so would her mother, if she wore living, but unhappily she was taken away from us four vears'aco."
