ADVERTISING NEW ZEALAND.

ACTOR'S REPLY TO PREMIER. Included amongst the puests at the Rotary Club's luncheon to-day was Mr. Bransby \Cilliam3, tlip. well-known character actor, who is a member of the London Rotary Club. At the conclusion of the biisiness he was aeked by Mr. Tewsley, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, if he would repeat his remarks made at the Savage Club on ! Saturday in connection with advertising ! the Dominion. J Mr. Bransby Williams" consented, and stated that New Zealand was little J known in England. He referred to the I fact that Mr. Maasey had informed a I deputation recently that New Zealand was advertised enough. "With all due respect to Mr. Masgey a3 a great man, I. as a Britisher visiting this country, studying its methods, its progress and advancement, say that the public of (Ireat Britain know less of New- Zealand than any other country," (Applause.) When in Canada before coming to New Zealand, Mr. Williams said that the Oovemor-Weneral, Lord Byng, asked him to talk about Canada on his return to England, but since being in New Zealand no one had asked him to talk about New Zealand. However, on his return, he would, with the greatest of pride and I pleasure tell Britishers of the JJomij nion. There were hundreds of thousands who knew nothing of New Zealand, and ! he thought that Mr. Maseey should at I least allow those anxious, to help u> advertise the Dominion. I
