MR NASH’S RETURN
PREPARATIONS FOR WELCOME THE MATAROA RUNNING LATE [Pan United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, August 9. Owing to the doubt which exists regarding the exact time of the arrival at Auckland of the liner Mataroa, detailed arrangements have not yet been completed for the welcome to be given to the Minister of Finance (the Hon. W. Nash), who is returning by the vessel from his lengthy trade mission abroad. The arrival of Mr Nash will also mark the occasion of the first visit to Auckland by the Prime Minister (the Right Hon. M. J. Savage) since his return from the Imperial Conference, and it is the intention of the City Council and the local branches of the Labour Party to combine the welcomes to the two representatives of the Government. According to present indications, the Mataroa should arrive on Friday afternoon, . but there is a possibility that she may be further delayed. Until more detailed information is available those in charge of the arrangements cannot say definitely when the civic reception will be held.
