LATE SIR JAMES ALLEN
APPRECIATION OF WORK (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Tuesday. "The passing of Sir James Allen brings to a close a most distinguished and useful career of service to his country," said the actingPrime Minister. Mr. Sullivan. "With the coming of the last war it fell to his lot to organise and dispatch the first New Zealand Expeditionary Force, a task to which he gave himself with extraordinary devotion and ability. In post-war days he was High Commissioner in London and represented this country on many occasions at the Council of the League of Nations and played a large and distinguished part in the development of that organisation. His whole life was full of intense activity. There have been few more devoted to their public duty than Sir James. On behalf of the Government and the War Administration I desire to tender our respectful sympathy to his relatives, a sympathy intensified by appreciation of his work for New Zealand."
