"SOUTH SACRIFICED."
DOMINION SHOW PLACES. SOUTHLAND MAN'S VIEWS. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) INVERCARGILL, Friday. Astonishment at what he termed the «acrifice of the South Island in the selection of the f how places of New Zealand for overseas visitors was expressed to-day by Mr. George Jaquiery, who has returned from the Science Congress at Auckland. Mr. Jaquiery, who is curator of the Southland Museum, referred to the Australian visitors to the congress, and said: "There was no mention of the South Island in the programme of sightseeing. It appeared to be Rotorua first, second and always, with those responsible for the entertainment of the Australians. Indeed, so anxious were the Government officials that the visitors should see Rotorua that they provided free transport. Some of the delegates would have welcomed an opportunity to visit the South Island. "Something should be done about this North Island parochialism. We in the South are losing by it. I believe it would pay to have a South Island resident representative in Auckland to meet all overseas tourists."
