LORD BLEDISLOE
HURRIED PREPARATIONS. I (By Cable —Press Assn. —Copyright.) LONDON, December 2. Interviewed at his Sloane Street .mansion, where his oak-panelled library is the scene of feverish activity, Lord Bledisloe, the new Gover-nor-General of New Zealand, was entrenched behind bundles of papers. He remarked: —“I am most busy, and have been unable to rest, even on Sunday-” Asked when he was departing, he replied: “I do not know; Everything has been most hurried. Sir Charles Fergusson is leaving New Zealand in January. Maybe I will be obliged to sail then. It is usual to warn appointees for a minimum of six months. I have merely been given one month’s notice. However, I am completely in the hands of the Dominions Office. Whatever I am ordered to do, I obey. ’ It is understood that Lord Bledisloe’s brother Major A. H. Bathurst will accompany him to New Zealand. Mr Samuel Whitley, brother of the Commons Speaker, and a dairying expert, will lead the farmers’ delegation to New Zealand and Australia.
