New Zealand Forgotten In British Press
Received Friday, 8.50 p.m. CANBERRA, March 17. New Zealand and the part she is playing in the war is receiving less publicity in the British press than any other Dominion. This has been revealed following complaints hero that Australia's war efforts are being inadequately publicised. Demands are being made for the expansion of overseas branches of the Commonwealth Information Department which already has large bureaus functioning in London and New York as well as on the American Pacific coast. The present Treasury vote to the Australian Information Department is more than £200,000 a year. The Minister of information (Mr. Caldwell) has revealed that in three weeks in December Australian news, including war news, in British newspapers aggregated 21, 26| and 37 columns respectively compared with Canada’s Bs, 3J and 5J columns, South Africa’s 2s, 2 and 10i columns and New Zealand's nil, 3i and one columns.
