ADVERTISING DOMINION

PROPAGANDA IN AMERICA

FILMS SHOWN ON STEAMERS

[BY TELEGRAPH. OWN* CORRESPONDENT. ] CHRISTCHURCH, Friday.

That the American people are very friendly in their attitude toward New Zealanders visiting the United States is the impression formed by Mr. J. R. Templin, a Christchurch electrical engineer, who returned this morning from an extensive tour of the United States and Canada.

Mr. Templin said he gave a number of talks on New Zealand to different organisations in America, and he found the people very keen to hear what they could about this country. Very little was known of New Zealand by the American people, but the propaganda disseminated by the Government publicity office was gradually being spread throughout the country, a:;d was having a good effect.

" Our publicity men on the boats running between* America and New Zealand are doing really excellent work," said Mr. Templin. '"'On several evenings during the voyage pictures of New Zealand scenery and the activities of the people in the Dominion were shown on board, and the passengers were most favourably impressed. "To a certain extent, however, this propaganda is hardly sufficient Coming out with us were sei-eral wealthy Americans, who were greatly disappointed because the tourist agency which arranged their tours had left New Zealand entirely out of their itinerary. They certainly had a few hours at Auckland on their way to Sydney, but they would very much have preferred to spend some weeks iu the Dominion, if they had had its attractions brought under their notice when their itineraries were being mapped out." Mr. Templin said that what was needed was to persuade the big travel agencies in the United States to recommend people to include New Zealand in their itineraries when arranging world tours. If this could be done a good many more American tourists would be induced to visit New Zealand.
