NEW ZEALAND AND THE EMPIRE
(REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) (Received 4th April, 2 p.m.)
LONDON, 3rd April. Earl Jellicoe made his first public appearance since his return as the guest of the annual dinner of the Association of British Chambers of Commerce. Replying to the toast of "Our Guest," Earl Jellicoe expressed exceedingly deep regret at leaving New Zealand. He told how when a Peninsular steamer was going outwards as the Mooltan was anchoring at Tilbury, his children said : "Let's go aboard the other ship and return to New Zealand." He dwelt on the Dominion's keenness for trade within the Empire, which was primarily due to the New Zealanders' characteristically strong patriotism and their strong Imperial instinct. Earl Jellicoe concluded by deploring Mr. Massey's illness.
