MR KISHI’S GIFT OF TREES
Council Declines Offering (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, Nov. 27. An Internal Affairs Department official said today that the planting of a tree by the Japanese Prime Minister, Mr Kishi, would take place in Government House grounds next wedk and not in the Wellington Botanic Gardens, as previously published. The Japanese Minister, Mr H. Shimadzu. said today he had been advised of the tree-planting ceremony at Government House, but had not been informed that the City Council, which controls the Botanic Gardens, had declined to allow Mr Kishi to plant a tree there. The tree to be planted, he said, was a Japanese maple, and was one of a number sent for that purpose from Japan in June of last year. In accordance with regulations, they had been since in quarantine. Mr Shimadzu said Mr Kishi was bringing a number of Japanese cherry trees which, after quarantine, had been originallj T intended for the botanic gardens. The question now was: who would accept them?
