BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY
NEW ZEALAND PRAISED CHARACTERISTICS OF PEOPLE LONDON. Jan. 24 Major-General Sir Fabian Ware, permanent vice-chairman of the Imperial War Graves Commission, stated to-day that his recent visit to New Zealand had convinced him that the Dominion as a whole was the most beautiful bit of the entire globe. The difference between Australians and New Zealanders and Britons was that the former were much more hopeful. Australia and New Zealand showed less trace of that fatal war legacy of pessimism which had wizened the minds of Britain's younger generation. Australians and New Zealanders also displayed the greatest virility and optimism. Nevertheless, in consequence of their remoteness from Europe, they were less percipient than Britons of world problems affecting their interests which might at any time do so suddenly, taking them by surprise. They were inclined to believe anyone who, went out there. Therefore the right kind of people able to speak authoritatively should visit Australia and New Zealand. The standard of. the newspapers was high, and foreign news was amply covered.
