LORD NUFFIELD AT ROTORUA
GALATSA estate inspected. MOST FAVOURABLY IMPRESSED. (By Telegraph— Fresa Association.) ROTORUA, To-day. In company with the- Minister of Lands, the Hon. E. A. Ransom, Dord Nuffield visited the Rotorua district yesterday and inspected the Galatea estate and other places of interest, attending a special Maori concert in the evening. ' , - . ' In the course of an interview Lord Nuffield said he was most favourably impressed with the development areas at Galatea and with the district generally. “If ever I left England this would be the country I would come to,’ he said. “I would go nowhere else to live. ”
Asked whether he contemplated any settlement venture in this country, Lord Nuffield said that he had one time cherished ideals in regard to immigration and the establishment of the surplus British population on, the soil of the Dominions, but at the present time these new- people were not wanted, which changed the whole outlook.
