Not Japanese Flag
Napier residents were extremely indignant when the rumour spread «mong them that a Japanese flag had been among the bunting flown by the, Napier Borough Council in connection avmli the celebration of the liberation of Paris. So much so that the Mayor ? Mr T. W. Hercoclt was- forced to make an official denial. "There is I will agree a similarity with another Hag." he, said, "but that is an international signal (lag denoting the letter 'G' or the word 'Yes.' It is a pity some explanation was not sought before sucb a statement was broadcast."
