GREAT OPTIMISM
VISITOR IMPRESSED WONDERS OF NEW ZEALAND SIR FABIAN WARE’S VIEWS (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) London, January 24. Sir Fabian Ware said that his recent visit had convinced him that New Zealand as a whole was the most beautiful bit of the entire globe. The difference between Australians, New Zealanders and Britons was that the former were much more hopeful, he said. Australia and New Zealand showed less trace of that fatal war legacy of pessimism which had wizened the minds of England’s younger generation. Australians and New Zealanders 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 arise suddenly, taking them by surprise. They were inclined to believe anyone who went out there, therefore the right kind of people who were able to speak authoritatively should visit Australia and New Zealand. Nevertheless the standard of the newspapers was high and foreign news was amply covered.
