Japan's Friendship Call
Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Aug. 19. The Japanese Goodwill Mission headed by Mr Katsuji Debuchi, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary, arrived from Sydney to-day. “I bring a message of goodwill from the people of Japan to the people of New Zealand,” said Mr Debucbi, when interviewed. "It is because we have a desire to maintain not only the cordial relations of the governments with each other, but the relations of good neighbours that I am paying this call of friendship. The friendly relations between New Zealand and Japan arc long standing, and commerce between the two countries is daily growing greater and it is necessary that this mutual co-operation be friendly and practical in order that the fraternity of the peoples of the Pacific may be as truly effcetl/e as the development of the new Pacific era demands.”
