N.Z. SENDING 1,500,000 PARCELS TO BRITAIN
(10 a.m.) LONDON, June 14. The New Zealand High Commissioner, Mr. W. J. Jordan, opening the “Meet New Zealand” exhibition at Cardiff, said that New Zealand hoped to send 1,500 000 parcels to Britain in 1948—one per head of the whole population.
Mr. Jordan, urging still closer cooperation of the British Commonwealth with the Mother Country, said: “We see countries going over to forms of government which they have no means of removing. We do not want a system under which we cannot remove a Government when we want to.”
He added that he could not help thinking the day must come when Britain and the Commonwealth would operate with combined expenses in a combined foreign'policy.
