AMERICAN TOURISTS
PACIFIC TRIPS LIKELY AUSTRALIA AND N.Z. (Pur Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. But for the war New Zealand would this year have been the Mecca for American tourists, declared Mr. Robert J. G. Smith, who has just returned to Wellington after spending some months on the staff of the New Zealand pavilion at the Golden Gate Exposition at San Francisco. The unsettled conditions in Europe before the war broke out and the frequent crises had turned the minds of tourists from the ideas of European journeys, Mr. Smith said yesterday, and their attention was diverted to the East and the countries of the Pacific. The actual outbreak of war had necessarily affected these plans, but the trend of the tourist traffic from the United States of America would still be in the direction of New Zealand and Australia.
