N.Z. EXHIBITION

A FAULT POINTED OUT

At Charing Cross Underground Station the New Zealand Government has been holding one of the most charming small exhibitions seen, there, said the "Manchester Guardian:, recently. People hastenifig td; their trains pause to admire the pictures of wooded river gorges, of theranal springs, snowcapped mountains, and stalactite caves. They see carcasses of Nfew Zealand sheep, models of trout caught in the rivers, and apples from New Zealand's orchards. They are told that the Dominion's beauties will enchant any tourist, and some of the visitors, making tentative inquiries abou* ships and fares and travel in the islands, murmur that they really must go out there some day. But as Lord Bledisloe, a former Governor, has pointed, out, the Dominion is not orilyy a good place to visit; it is an excellent place to live in. It needs more and would wel-. come families of moderate means who chose to settleV there. If the present! Exhibition; had been designed to attract ( them—and some New Zealanders here think it should have been—it would have included pictures of the larger towns, with tjie fine shops, that are usually a surprise to visitors, of beautiful country houses, md of the schools and university colleges from which many New Zealanders have come to win .distinction in the Old World.
