“While there is an Immensely keen interest taken in New Zealand by Americans, they cannot easily obtain tourist literature about it, and many tourists are lost," said Mr C, G. Parish, an accountant who has returned to Christchurch from a visit to the United States. Only California had a service which wa., adequate, he said, and this represented only 4,000,000 people. Almost all the rest of the United States was unprovided for, and inquirers were advised to communicate with the New Zealand representative at Toronto. “Of course, you know how Americans would be about sending to Canada.” said Mr Parish. He himself had distributed much literature, and there were six .Americans either here or on their way, through his activity. He suggested that a representative posted in New York would do good work. There were many Americans who would come to New Zealand for its summer during the northern winter, and they were keen enough, Urey had told him, to put up with discomforts to see New Zealand rather than go -o Europe.
