"TRIBUNE" APOLOGY
SLUR ON NEW
ZEALAND
(Rec. 2.15 p.m.) NEW YORK, March 11. In publishing a letter from Mr. Nash replying to its editorial, "Hello Suckers," the Chicago "Tribune" explains that its comments were based on the testimony of Mr. M. J. Maas, who went to New Zealand as an officer of the Marine Corps and presumably had first-hand knowledge. Mr. Maas, however, had not replied to the denial statement made by Mr. Sol Bloom, chairman of the Foreign Affairs' Committee of the House of Representatives, and therefore it must be assumed that he was in error. The "Tribune" accordingly apologised to New Zealand for comment based on inaccurate information. Mr. Nash, in his letter, said the "Tribune" editorial was completely untrue, in bad taste, and cast an uncalledfor slur on New Zealand's reputation. He" added that New Zealand was profoundly grateful for everything the United States had done in the Pacific.
