NEW ZEALAND’S WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA
HOW THE SAILORS VIEWED IT. [By Electric Cable—Copyright] [Aust and N.Z. Cable Association.] • SYDNEY, March 31. Commodore Wardle, referring to the Australian Fleet's visit to New Zealand, said: “The cruise was a tremendous success in every way. It seemed to me that in Now Zealand we were welcomed, not only as British ships, but because we were Australians. This was the first time the Australian ships had visited New Zealand as a squadron and the occasion was marked by a spontaneous expression of friendship and Empire loyalty on the part of the Dominion, although the chief purpose was to exercise with the New Zealand Fleet. The visit, in fact, became a mission of fellowship and goodwill.”
