As a result of the defeat of Japan and America's enormous air and naval power, fear of aggression in the Pacific area had been removed for half a century and. it was hoped, for ever, said Mr Nash, broadcasting. It might be thought that New Zealanders, in a secure little corner of the Pacific would not worry about the problems of making peace in Europe, but the ordinary man in New Zealand, as in England, was not happy about the peace.
