WOULD BE WELCOMED
MR WENDELL WILLKIE NEW ZEALAND INVITATION (By Telegraph.—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Tuesday If Mr Wendell Willkie is able to accept an invitation extended to him to visit Australia he is to be invited by the New Zealand Government to make a visit to the Dominion. Mr Willkie recently returned to America from a visit to Great Britain and Ireland. A few days ago it was reported that there was a possibility of his visiting China, but it was later announced that this was now unlikely. A cable message from Sydney published today stated that the acting-Prime Minister of Australia, Mr A. Fadden, had announced that the Commonwealth Government had invited Mr Willkie to visit Australia. The Government was awaiting advice regarding Mr Willkie’s intentions on his return to New York this week. “We will certainly support the invitation,” said the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser, when asked this evening if the New Zealand Government were likely to ask Mr Willkie to come to *New Zealand in the event of his being able to accept the invitation to Australia. “We will be very glad to welcome him, or, for that matter, any representative public man from America.”
