He will return to New Zealand at the end of June. The Acting Minister for Native Affairs (the Hon. F. Langstone) said today that Judge Ayson would be succeeded by Mr. S. J. Smith, secretary for the Cook Islands. "For the time being,” added the Minister. “Mr. Smith’s duties in the Cook Island Department will be carried out by Mr. A. B. Moss, acting Secretary for External Affairs during the absence from New Zealand of Mr. C. A. Berendsen, Permanent Head of the Prime Minister’s Department.”
