Days Of Elusive Security Mean Sacrifice
WELLINGTON, June 14. In these days of doubt and ;so much danger New Zealanders and Britons, as well as the other members of the British Commonwealth and Empire, had need of each other, said the United Kingdom High Commissioner, Sir Patrick Duff, at a farewell reception given to Lady Duff and himself at Parliament House today by the Prime Minister, Mr. Fraser. "We have all recently emerged from the most devastating war in history," said Sir Patrick. "The unequal hurts . which nations suff er in war are not all caused by the shells and bombs which fell unequally at the time. There are
other destructiv.e agencies and other sacrifiees. Such are the economic stress.es and trials from which Great Bxitain in an especial manner and more than most of her friends and Allies suffers. The peace for which we fought eludes us, and the security for which we hoped is nowhere to be found. So, there must still be sacrifiees which those who are partners in great causes look to one another to share. In a world so full' oi danger, there must be burdens which the lo§ses and lessons of the past show it is for the self-preservation of each partner to take a share in shouldering."
