SYDNEY, this day.
The close relationship existing between Australia and New Zealand is emphasised by the Prime Minister of New Zealand, Mr. Peter Fraser, who said to-day: "Our troops are fighting shoulder to shoulder in Egypt, as they fought in Greece and Crete."
Commenting on the supply position. Mr. Fraser said New Zealand needed supplies from Australia, just as Australia needed supplies from elsewhere. New Zealand was short of many commodities, particularly steel and rubber. The arrangements to be made about these would be very important to New Zealand.
Mr. Fraser told reporters that New Zealand's manpower problems were acute, particularly from the production angle. The Dominion had plenty of dairy produce and meat, but the vegetable position was serious.
