N.Z. NOT LET DOWN
ECONOMIC COUNCIL
AUSTRALIA’S SUPPORT
MR FRASER APPRECIATIVE
(9 a.m.) LONDON, Jan. 17. That is complete nonsense. It is more than ludicrous,” said the leader of the New Zealand delegation to UNO, Mr P. Fraser, when shown a report that Australia had let down New Zealand over the voting for the Social and Economic Council, says the Sydney Mirror’s correspondent. ‘Nothing could be further from the truth,” said .Mr. P. Fraser. “We have had absolutely complete co-operation. It could not have been better.
“Regarding the election, we had Australia’s support right through and we are extremely grateful. Australia even wanted to go on supporting us. Mr. N. J. Makin and Colonel W. R. Hodgson tried to persuade us not to stand down in favour of Yugoslavia. I cannot see how Australia could have supported us any more than that.”
