Anderson, secretary of the Employers' Association. During his visit last year to Europe, where he attended the International Labour Conference at Geneva, Mr. Anderson found that his stories about New Zealand angling •received no credence from Sir John Forbes-Watson, director of the British National Confederation of Employers, or from the members of his staff. Tourist Department photographs of large fish were considered to be fakes and aroused hearty laughter. Upon his return •to New Zealand Mr. Anderson made arrangements to confound the sceptics and, incidentally, to pay acknowledgment for kindness received by the New Zealanders, by sending Home a large trout preserved in a block of ice.
