AMERICA'S REAL SYMPATHY.

Mr. Menzies said he found in the United States a development of public opinion in our favour and a growing consciousness that it is their struggle, because it will determine the type of world they will have.

This was not due to great speeches or to propaganda, but to the fact that the common man of America had looked across the Atlantic and seen the common man of Britain, and had marvelled at him. "If there is one thing that has stirred America, it is the spectacle of those people, with so little to lose and so much valour to defend it."

In welcoming Mr. Menzies to New Zealand, Mr. Nash paid a tribute to Australia's phenomenal development of aeroplanes, guns, o"-d ships, and said that Australia mighr become an arsenal of the Southern Pacific, from which we would dx*aw things to defend both Australia and New Zealand. He also spoke of the complete co-ordination for mutual defence between the sister countries, and paid a tribute to the magnificent co-operation between the Anzacs overseas.

Mr. Nash also welcomed GovernorGeneral Brunot, the Free French envoy.
