HIGH TRIBUTES TO N.Z. HIGH COMMISSIONER
Mr F. W. Gilligan, headmaster of the Wanganui Collegiate School, paid a very high tribute, in a talk to the Wanganui Rotary Club yesterday, to the High C’otnmissioner for New Zealand in London, Mr W. J. Jordan. Without in any way entering into politics, Mr Gilligan said, he hoped that Mr Jordan would remain as New Zealand’s representative at Home,
“If you ask an Englishman who is the Australian High Commissioner he probably wouldn’t know,” he said. “If you asked who is the Canadian High Commissioner he probably wouldn’t know either. But if you asked who the New Zealand High Commissioner is the reply would come back: ‘Oh, Bill Jordan, of course,’” said Mr Gilligan.
