N. ZEALAND PRAISED
LORD JELLICOE’S TRIBUTE. (A.P.A. & Sun.) LONDON, January 12. Lord Jellicoe was the guest of the New Zealand Luncheon Club’s initiation of the new overseas section of the Forum Club. Welcoming the overseas women visitors, Lord Jellicoe paid a tribute to New Zealand’s outstanding loyalty. He said that it was always the first to respond whenever Britain asked assistance in emergencies. Referring to New Zealand’s sporting instincts he said that it probably had more racecourses in proportion to population than anywhere in the world, but, fortunately, there was not yet dog racing. New Zealand was recovering from an economic depression. He urged Britain to help by buying New Zealand produce. Anyone in Britain buying Danish butter ought to be shot. Lady Jellicoe made a maiden speech.
