SEARCH FOR ELLSWORTH
NEW ZEALAND TO HELP
An announcement that the New Zealand Government had expressed its willingness to co-operate with the Imperial Government and the Commonwealth Government should a relief expedition to search for Lincoln Ellsworth be decided upon, was made today, by the Minister of Marine (the Hon. P. Fraser}.
Mr. Fraser stated that a cablegram asking whether New Zealand would co-operate had been received from the High Commissioner in London on December 4, but owing to the change-over in Governments at this particular time, it had not been possible to deal with the matter immediately. He had, however, brought it before Cabinet at the first opportunity after taking office yesterday, and Cabinet had agreed that New Zealand should join with the other Governments mentioned should a relief expedition be organised.
