Consideration By Cabinet
(New Zealand Pres* Association)
WELLINGTON, May 2.
The question of military aid to South Vietnam probably would come up at tomorrow’s meeting of the Cabinet, the Prime Minister (Mr Holyoake) said tonight.
"It has arisen a number of times in recent months,” he said. Mr Holyoake said there was no authority for the statement broadcast by Radio Australia’s diplomatic correspondent that “New Zealand troops would soon be committed to Vietnam." No decision had been made, Mr Holyoake said. The British Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations (Mr Arthur Bottomley) would give the Cabinet an up-to-date review of the British Government’s at-
titude to Vietnam and other problems in that part of the world.
In return Mr Bottomley would be given at first hand the views of the New Zealand Cabinet.
