GREATER FRIENDSHIP
DOMINION AND GERMANY The valuable part played by the visit of the German training, ship Ivommodore Jobnsen in creating a better understanding and greater friendship between the people of New Zealand and Germany was emphasised by the port chaplain, the Rev. H. K. Vickery, yesterday. Visits like this, he said, accomplished as much as any League of Nations. Mr. Vickery said the officers and 60 cadets on the Kommodore Jobnsen had made many friends during their stay in Auckland. He praised them for the sportsmanlike way in which they had taken part in the swimming contests and Soccer matches that had been arranged, and for the manner in which they had co-operated at socials arranged by the Flying Angel Missions to Seamen. The Kommodore Johnsen is expected to sail about the middle of next week for South Australia on her return to Germany.
