A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.
ATTRACTIONS OF NEW ZEALAND
PRAISE FROM AMERICAN VISITOR.
(BY TELEGKAPH PKEBB ASSOCIATION.; PALMERSTON X., March 30. '‘lf your beautiful country, with its manifold attractions, was not so far from America it would be the camping ground of American tourists." This observation was made to a Standard reporter by Dr. Malcolm MacEaehern. the noted American authority on hospital management, who is touring the Dominion. He arrived here this morning from Hamilton. “Mrs. MacEaehern and myself have been delight, ed with what we have seen of New Zealand.” stated the doctor. “Its scenery, its climate, and above ail its very line people, hospitable and courteous to the highest degree, have greatly impressed us. If the distance between New Zealand and America was not iso great. I am sure it would be the camping ground of American tourists. By making the Dominion better known on the other side of the Pacific many more people will lie induced to visit this scenically beautiful country. The tourist cannot look out of the window of the railway carriage in any direction without seeing pleasing scenery. /That, in a measure, is a detraction. for he simply can’t look at it long enough, he can’t take it away with him, and lie can’t come back often enough to vi§w it. Facilities for sport are unlimited; fishing, hunting, golfing, all kinds of outdoor sports can be enjoyed in abundance. A feature commending the country from the point of view of the visitor is that one does not have to travel any great distance to vary the scenery. I wish, though, that more information about New Zealand, with its Scenery and its productivity, could he filmed and screened in America. Australia now is sending one scenic, film a week for release in Canada and the United States. The result has been the dissemination of a- great amount of information about the' Commonwealth.” Dr. MacEaehern expressed the hope that New Zealand, if it had not already done so, would follow suit.
