APPRECIATION OF NATURE
Janies A. Fitzpatrick “Appalled”
“The Press" Special Service AUCKLAND, January 12. There is an appalling lack of appreciation of the great natural features of New Zealand by the authorities, says Mr James A. Fitzpatrick in a letter from Los Angeles to an acquaintance in this ’ country. Mr Fitzpatrick recently visited New Zealand for the fifth ' time. The natural features, plus the wonderful fishing, aquatic and sporting pastimes, could make 1 tourism second only to farming as a revenue producer, he says. After 33 years of travelling. Mr Fitzpatrick says that New Zealand is unique for beauty, diversI hy of scenery and tourist resorts. The potential of New Zealand as a tourist country, according to . Mr Fitzpatrick, is “terrific," but i this cannot be taken advantage i of until “there is a hew and re- ■ vitalised awakening on the part 1 of those who guide the destinies of your country.”
