WHY N.Z. CHANGED GOVERNMENT
AMERICAN JOURNALIST’S QUEST (P.A.) AUCKLAND, Feb. 27. A former speech writer for President Roosevelt and now a roving editor of the “Reader’s Digest,” Mr Stanley High, will spend a month in New Zealand finding out, “what happened here to change the people’s mind about Socialism.” Last year’s elections had done more to put Australia and New Zealand on the map in the United States than anything since the war, Mr High said in an interview after his arrival by Solent flying-boat from Sydney today. He added that the British general election made it all the more important that the story of the New Zealand election should be told as soon as possible. Mr High considered that the narrowness of the British Labour Party’s win would be reassuring to Americans, who wanted to help the British people but disliked the socialistic policies of their Government. Mr High will interview the Prime Minister (the Hon. S. G. Holland) in Wellington to-morrow, and will visit the South Island before returning to Auckland.
