IMPORTANCE OF U.S.
NX’s “Pacific Destiny” (N.Z. Press Association) > AUCKLAND, May 13. The United States was important to New Zealand’s ’’Pacific destiny,” said Sir Leslie Munro, former New Zealand Ambassador to the United States and permanent representative to the United Nations, at the Auckland Rotary Club luncheon today. “I believe that our exports' to the United States can be 1 expanded but our efforts! should be the subject of quiet diplomacy in trade and not with a fanfare of trumpets.” On defence he said that Japan’s rapid advance to New Guinea in World War II was a “rude awakening” to Nc'W Zealand that, henceforth, our military destiny lay in the Pacific. “In the welfare State, to which we are all pledged, the easiest way to economise is at the expense of defence. That temptation we must avoid, for there are dangers ahead.”
