Sir James Allen, speaking at the Victoria League meeting at the Guildhall, warmly repudiated the suggestion that Ncy Zealand does not welcome the British wives of New Zealand soldiers. He hoped that Britain would send an equal number of men to marry New Zealand wives. He reminded Imperial statesmen that the relations of the Dominions with the Motherland had materially changed since the war.
