A tribute to the work of Mr. and Mrs. Berendsen in furthering New Zealand —Australian co-operation was paid by Mr. Eraser in announcing, in an interview with the special correspondent of the New Zealand Press Association, that the New - Zealand Government -had acquired a suitable residence for the High Commissioner in Australia. The house is of the single.-storey bungalow type with about two acres of ground. The New Zealand flag flies over, its lawns.
