NEW ZEALAND PREMIER
PRAISED BY LONDON ; i COMMENTATOR.. STURDY COMMON SENSE & TOLERANCE. (By ’ l ' e l egraE, h— The noted commentator A. J. Cumming writes in the “News Chronicle of his first meeting with the Prime Minister, Mr Fraser: “One could not but admire his sturdy common sense, his tolerance, his reasonable attitude to all practical issues of the war, and in particular his intense loyalty to the British conceptions of decency and order. “His grasp of problems of the Far East and his ability to set them forth in simple terms must have been great service in the London talks. After a little judicious probing he gave me his personal guess (or estimate) of the length of the war with Japan after , Hitler is disposed of. But that, he insists, must be oil’ the record till Tojo has thrown his hand in. Mr Fraser certainly does not under-rate the Japanese military power or the fanatical patriotism (of which he has plenty of evidence) of the Japanese fighting men, nurtured in their tradition of dynastic hero worship.
