AS SAWNTOS SAW US
Received Wednesday, 9.30 p.m. SYDNEY, Oct. 2. "I found New Zealanders the best mannered people in the world. You and I are rough mannered but New Zealanders are gentlemen," said Dr. Mario Sawntos, first secretary of the Brazilian Legation " to Australia, interviewed after his arrival from • New Zealand. "Do not believe that New Zealanders are prejudiced against Australia," he added. "They are not. They look to Australia to give them their lead. Melhourne and Sydney people have more hostility towards each other than New zealanders have toward Australia. They like you." Dr. Sawntos who, as consul general before Brazil established its legation in Australia, delivered 16 lectures in New Zealand where he spent three months.
