DEEP PLEASURE GIVEN TO NEW ZEALANDERS
WELLINGTON, Nov. 15. The birth of a son to Princess Elizabeth has given the deepest pleasure to all New Zealanders, said the Acting Prime Minister, Mr. Nash, today. "The importance of the occasion is realised not only in New Zealand, but in our own island territories of Cook Islands and by the people of the trust territory of Western Samoa. Our Royal family holds a special position in the heart of this great British Commonwealth of Nations, and the child that has been born to Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh is heir to the great responsibilities which are carried by the Royal family. "For New Zealand the Crown is the link in the association between us and the other countries of the Commonwealth, and the affection and feeling of all of us flows on this happy occasion not only to iheir. Majesties, but to Princess B1^6eth herself and her husband, the-.Uuke of Edinburgh."
