EMDEN’S VISIT
COMMITTEE TO ARRANGE ENTERTAINMENT LEACUE OF NATIONS PARTICIPATES [Pkh United Pubs Association.] AUCKLAND, June 5. A meeting presided over IryMrLangguth, formerly Austrian Consul, appointed committees for entertaining the officers and crew of the German cruiser Emden. Mr Langguth said it had come as a surprise to Idm that the German Consul for New Zealand had requested Auckland City Council nob to bold a civic reception. It might be inferred that the officers and crew did not desire a civic reception. This was not so, and the Consul’s action, he considered, had been a mistake, and even deserving of censure. Guarantees towards the cost of the reception (about £6O) were given in the room, and private cars were offered for excursions. Mr Bernard Martin, one of three members of the League of Nations Union present, stated that the League proposed to extend courtesies to the cruiser’s captain as representative of a Power which was a member of the League. Exactly what form these would take had not yet been decided.
