VISCOUNT NUFFIELD AT AUCKLAND. “ Though it meant six days’ travel for a stay of a day and a-half I just had to come. I could not have all my friends in New Zealand saying I had come all the way to Australia and had gone home without, seeing them.” So said Viscount Nuffield on his arrival by the Awatea this afternoon. “We in England are not worrying nearly as much as you are here concerning the European situation. I would not say, however, the people are not worrying, but I don’t think we shall become entangled in any of these -wars. Industry is not worried. The manufacture of armaments and gas masks is not causing concern among the British people. In Australia and New Zealand there seems to be a feeling that armaments are the only busy industry in England, but that is not so. When the making of armaments ends the men so employed will be absorbed in other channels of industry.”—Auckland Press Association.
