ENGLISH-SPEAKING UNITY
ADVANCE AS RESULT OF WAR AMERICAN PREPAREDNESS (P.A.) AUCKLAND, June 9. “Hitler has done more for the cause of English-speaking unity than has anything or anyone else, and that is the only thing he has done,” said Sir Evelyn Wrench, founder of the English Speaking Union, when he arrived to-day with his wife by the Mariposa on a private visit to New Zealand. Lady Wrench is a sister of Sir Alan Brooke, Commander-in-Chief of the Home Forces in Britain. Sir Evelyn Wrench said the closer relations existing between the United States and Britain now, compared with his first visit to America 35 years ago, were nothing less than a miracle. He said he believed that the coming together of the English-speaking peoples was inevitable, and the only hope for civilisation. “ I have never seen anything like the immense speeding up of American preparedness,” Sir Evelyn said. I cannot conceive of the United States withholding anything, if it comes to the last resort.”
