International Friendship
JAPANESE MISSION AT DUNEDIN By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dunedin, August 27 The value of a better understanding between Japan and New Zealand was emphasised to-day at various functions attended by Mr. Katsuji Debuehi, Leader of the Japanese Goodwill Mission. While the importance of increasing the trade between the two countries was touched on, the fact was stressed that international friendship and peace depended more on the human basis of goodwill than on the amount of goods exchanged between one nation and another.
