LORD BLEDISLOE’S INTEREST
| . 4AGRICULTURE AND EMPIRE The association, of the GovernorGeneral designate (Lord Bledisloe) with agricultural and Empire affairs, was referred to by Mr. S. R. Whitley, leader of the Empire farmers’ delegation yesterday, when replying to the Government’s welcome to the visitors. Mr. Whitley said that had Lord Bledisloe not been called to a higher position he would have been replying to the welcome, as he had been chosen originally as leader of the delegation. Lord Bledisloe had resigned that position with great sorrow, but the delegation’s loss was to be New Zealand’s gain. Two thoughts were always present with Lord Bledisloe—agriculture and the Empire. (Aplause). He was known as a man who was out to help agriculture and to help the Empire.
