Dr. Mario Santos, first 'secretary \of the Brazilian Legation in Australia, has again made the.headlines hy te'ning, Australians that in New Zealana men actqally oft'er thelr seats in-trams and huses to women. , . ' ' Compared with the New Zealanders, Brazilians and Australians are rough mannered," he declares. "Nowhere in the world are the people su obliging, kind and polite as they are in 'New Zealand." Some of the things he found in New Zealand and which he maintains are ■ lacking in Australia and Brazil are taxi-drivers who open the door ana apologise if they cannot take you; shopkeepers who do not laugh rudely or jeer when asked for cigarettes or silk stockings; and people whose firsr impulse is not to punch a foreigners' nose on sight but to welcome hnn.
