BLITZED LONDON
WELLINGTON'S SYMPATHY "Will you join, with the capital ot Scotland and Mies of the United Nations in saluting London?" were the opening words of a cablegram from the Lord Provost of Edinburgh to the Mayor (Mr. W. Appleton), .read at last night's meeting of the City Council. "Edinburgh suggests," continued the cablegram, "a message of sympathy and admiration now, and at some future date some tangible token of everlasting remembrance." The Mayor said it was suggested that all the cities of New, Zealand should take part, and he proposed that steps should be taken to assist in restoring buildings that had been blitzed. The Mayor of Dunedin, with whom the Town Clerk had been in touch, was in accord. Mr Appleton's motion was seconded by Councillor W. J. Gaudin, who said that the matter could be discussed jointly by representatives of all the New Zealand cities. The motion was carried. Messages have been sent by the Mayor to the chairman of the London County Council and. the Lord Mayor of London expressing unbounded admiration of the fortitude of Londoners in meeting the challenge .of indiscriminate bombings, and extending sympathy with' all suffering as a result.
