"GLORIOUS EXAMPLE"
DOMINION'S TRIBUTE
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, this day. New Zealand's sympathy with the United States in the fall of Corregidor was expressed by the Prime Minister, Mr. Fraser, in a cablegram which he sent to the New Zealand Minister in Washington, Mr. Nash. It reads as follows:—"Will you kindly inform President Roosevelt how profoundly the Government, Parliament and people of New Zealand have been moved by the fall of Corregidor. The very gallant defence of the fortress against overwhelming odds has been and ever will be an inspiration and a glorious example to all of us who are banded together to resist aggression and to preserve and restore freedom. Corregidor has not been in vain. It will live for ever in the memory of man as one of the greatest feats of all time."
