ANOTHER MESSAGE
MR. LYONS TO MR. FORBES
The following message from the Prime Minister (Mr. J. A. Lyons) has been conveyed to the Prime Minister of New Zealand (Mr. G. "\Y\ Forbes) by. Mr. A. B. Lane, manager of the Press' Association of New Zealand who returned from Sydney today. '
"Australians Have received with gratitude Die good-will message of the Prime Minister of New Zealand, which I hasten to reciprocate. We feel in these troubled economic times that -we have much in common. Not only have wo sprung from the same stock, but our forefathers, who pioneered our respective countries for us, faced similar difficulties. They hewed for us homes out of the unfriendly bush, and they faced isolation and untold hardships. Today we. reap the benefits of their labours. :
"But the world in which we live is vastly different from the world they knew—more complex troubles confront us, and the problems of New Zealand are, to a great extent, those of Australia.
"Modern transport, moving literally on the wings of speed, brings us ever closer, and I look forward confidently to greater intercourse: between our countries, with increasing interchange of visits by tourists.as well as public men. . .
"In the past-our destinies have been largely along parallel lines. We have just commemorated Auzac, and in that word.our two countries aro linked eternally. I trust the comradeship of tho war will live long in tho days of peace. • . . "Yours sincerely,
"J. A.- LYONS."
