MR HOLLAND IN AUSTRALIA

* “INFORMATION FOR OPPOSITION ” INTEREST IN COMMON PROBLEMS(SpeciaI Australian Corresp., N.Z.P.A.) (Rec. 1.15 a.m.) SYDNEY, Nov. 2. New Zealand and Australia would have common post-war problems, and he was keen to discover what Australian politicians, industrialists, and commercial leaders were thinking about the post-war period, said Mr S. G. Holland. Leader of the New Zealand Opposition, when he arrived in Australia with Mr F. W. Doidge. He will spend one month examining the methods being adopted here to deal with current problems. Mr Holland said that the New Zealand people, in common with others, were talking about a new order, but were coming to the opinion that, if there were to be a new order, each individual would have to make it for himself. Commenting on the appointment of an Australian High Commissioner to New Zealand, Mr Holland said that Mr Dalton, because of his knowledge of primary industries, was a particularly good choice. He said he thought, however, that there should be personal contact between New Zealand and Australia through other than Government sources. For that reason he and Mr Doidge had come to Australia to collect information for the Opposition. During their visit, said Mr Holland, they would confer with Australian Ministers, and discover how Australia was dealing with manpower and other war problems.
