THE DOMINION
MORE OVERSEAS PUBLICITY URGED.
AUCKLAND, Dee. 39,
‘‘That word ‘Australasia’ lias got to be cut out, it’s no good to i\ew Zealand overseas,” said Mr J. M. Hvains, of Auckland who has returned from a world tour by the Aorangi “New Zealand is not known m Enrtjpe.” lie continued. “It is known as Australasia. What this Dominion wants is more publicity and plenty* oi it. When you buy American maps to look for New Zealand you win find it placed off the coast of South Africa. That’s a fact, and it’s m laughing matter. I lint word Australasia lias been responsible for it all. Tiie New Zealand Government should make a most • extensive publicity campaign throughout Europe and America. One feels ashamed when people ask you where you come from and you say ‘New. Zealand,’ and they reply: ‘New Zealand ? 1 ' I’ve never heard of it. Where is it?’ ”
