MR. FORBES AT HOME
PAYS FAREWELL CALLS. GOODWILL OF NEW ZEALAND PRODUCTS. (Press Association. —Copyright.) (Received 10.10 a.m.) London, December 5. The Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes, in a final day farewell, called on Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, placed a wreath on the Westminster Abbey tablet to the Empire's million dead, and also interviewed Sir Ernest Harvey, de-puty-governor of the Bank of England.
Mr. Forbes, in a final statement, paid a tribute to the hospitality shown throughout Britain and Ireland. He said that though the Imperial Conference decisions had not gone as far as he hoped, some important decisions were reached. Many undecided questions were considered and personal contacts with public and commercial leaders had been most valuable. New Zealand sold the bulk of her products to Britain and as a mattr of sentiment gave preference through the customs, and desired the fullest measure of preference. He highly appreciated the goodwill New Zealand products enjoyed in Britain.
