MR COATES’S DEATH
MESSAGE FROM MR CHURCHILL From Our Parliamentary Reporter WELLINGTON, June 4. “I was deeply grieved to learn of the sudden death of the Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates,” says Mr Winston Churchill in a message of sympathy to the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser). ‘‘After his long service to New Zealand and to the Empire as % whole I know this is a very serious loss to you all, and I should like to extend my heartfelt sympathy.” Mr Fraser has also received the following message from the French High Commissioner in Noumea: “I am profoundly moved by the sudden death of the Hon. Gordon Coates. The cordial confidence shown to us by Mr Coates on the occasion of his visit to New Caledonia during the last few months had made of him for us Frenchmen a friend much more than an ally. I beg you and members of .the Cabinet to convey in my personal name as in the name of the French population of the Pacific our most sincere condolences on this sad occasion.”
