N.Z.-CANADIAN GOODWILL
“United In Spirit Of Commonwealth” (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, Dec. 10. The New Zealand airmen who were trained in Canada during the war went as ambassadors of goodwill which the intervening years had enhanced, said the Prime Minister of Canada (Mr John Diefenbaker) at today’s civic reception. He told one of the largest crowds to attend a civic reception in years that the Canadians had the same deep feeling for New Zealand that New Zealanders felt for Canada.
“That makes it possible for us to have in our hearts something which no other group of nations has ever been able to have,” he said. They were united In the bond of the spirit of Commonwealth.
Speakers at the reception were the Mayor of Wellington (Mr F J. Kitts), the Prime Minister (Mr Nash), and the Leader of the Opposition (Mr Holyoake).
