WELLINGTON. Wednesday. The ex-High. Commissioner, Sir Thomas Mackenzie, was tendered a civic reception to-day, when tributes were paid to his work in London during the war.
The Prime 'Minister said the High Commissioners who represented New Zealand in +he past had done honour to the Dominion. Sir Thomas Mackenzie was no exception to the rule. He was sure .that whatever Sir Thomas did in the future, whether he remained in New Zealand or went to England, he would always be a loyal and useful citizen. A representative of the Returned Soldiers' Association said the soldiers in London regarded Sir Thomas as a fine link with the Dominion, and were grateful for his fatherly interest. In reply Sir Thomas said the good work of the High Commissionfer's office would have been impossible without the loyal and devoted assistance of a large number of patriotic men and women..
