BRITAIN AND U.S.
CLOSER RELATION NOTED (P.A.) AUCKLAND, June 9. “Hitler has done more for the cause of English-speaking unity than has anything, or anyone, else, and that is the only thing he has done,” said Sir Evelyn Wrench, founder of the Eng-lish-speaking Union, when he arrived to-day with his wife in the Mariposa on a private visit to New Zealand. Lady Wrench is a sister of Sir Alan Brooke, Commander-in-Chief of the Home Forces in Britain. Sir Evelyn said that the closer relation existing between the United States and Britain now, compared with his first visit to America 35 years ago, was nothnig less than a miracle. He said he believed that the coming together of the English-speaking peoples was inevitable and the only hope of civilisation. “I have never seen anything like the immense speeding up of American prenaredness,” he said. “I cannot conceive of,the United States withholding anything if it cofhes to a last resort.”
