A Wonderful Response
LORD JELLICOE’S TRIBUTE
WELLINGTON, September 22
Before tlie House of Representatives to-night, the Prime Minister read the following letter which he had received from the Governor-General: Government House, Wellington, * September 22nd, 1922.
Dear Mr Massey,—The events of the last few days have emphasised in the most striking manner the strength of the tie which binds New Zealand to the Motherland and to tho remainder of our great Empire, and as his Majesty’s representative in this Dominion, I am anxious to express to you and through you to the people of New Zealand, my intense admiration of t'le wonderful response which the first hint of serious danger tn Imperial interests lias brought forth. It seems hardly credible that iar the absence of any call for volunteers a total of 12.000 officers and other ranks and 300 nurses, should in the short period of four days have registered their names for service if required. I am indeed proud to have the honour of association with an outpost of the Empire where such a spirit lives, and I tender my heartfelt appreciation and admiration to a people who Lolil so glorious n record. Yours sincerely, (Signed) JELLIC'OE.
