LORD BLEDISLOE BUSY
EVERYTHING HURRIED OnlUd Pr«« Aj»oc!aUon—By tlsctric T§]«*r»pb—CopyrlsUt LONDON, 2nd December. Interviewed at his Sloane street mansion, where the oak-panelled library is a scene of feverish activity, Lord Bledisloe, entrenched behind bundles of papers, remarked: "I am most busy; unable to rest oven on Sunday." Asked when ho was departing, he replied: "I do not know; everything has been most hurried. Sir Charles Pergusson is leaving in January. Maybe I shall be obliged to sail then. It is usual to warn appointees a minimum of six months. I have merely been given a month's notice. However, I am completely in the hands of the Dominions Office. Whatever I am ordered to do I will obey."
The new Governor-G.eneral (Lord Bledisloe) is looking forward to a very happy stay in New Zealand.
In reply to his message of congratulation, the Prime Minister (the Bight Hon. Sir Joseph Ward) has received the following cablegram from Lord Bledisloe:—
"I keenly appreciate warm congratulations and welcome of Government and people of New Zealand. We both look forward to very happy sojourn among you. Our cordial wishes for your complete restoration to health." ■
