VISCOUNT RUNCIMAN.
IXAVING BY AORANGI. Viscount Runeiman. Lord President of the Council, and Lady Riinciman, who have been visiting New Zealand since the beginning of the month, arrived from the South yesterday afternoon, and are staying at the Grand Hotel prior to their departure by the Aorangi for Vancouver to-morrow.
Lord Runeiman is chiefly known in New Zealand for the historic part he played last year in trying to avert a European crisis by acting as mediator between Germany and Czechoslovakia. His visit to New Zealand ie in no way an official one, and he has made the journey only for hpalth reasons. He declines to discuss the European situation, stating that he is not receiving personal dispatches and has no more knowledge than is appearing in the newspapers.
During thrir stay in the Dominion, Lord and Lady Runciman have visited most of the scenic resorts of the North Island. Travelling via Canada, they hope to be in England again in a month's time.
