Letters From R.A.F. Members
WELLINGTON, This Day,
Following the receipt of communications • from parents regarding the rather long interval since the receipt of the latest letters from their sons in the Royal Air Force, the Prime Minister cabled the High Commissioner in London asking if there was any special reason for the delay. Mr. Jordan replied ‘that apart from the change-over from the air to the sea mail, the censorship and the irregularity of steamer sailings, he had been advised that there was no special reason for the delay except that since the outbreak of war, routine letterwriting had been interrupted by service conditions, including frequent change of station and lack of opportunity through intensive training. “Please reassure parents,” Mr. Jordan added, “that I am. closely watch-1 ing the interests of all serving New Zealanders here.”
