THE HIGH COMMISSIONERSHIP
Sir. — I noticed in last evenings Sun that the appointment of Lord Jellicoe to the High Commissionership of New Zealand in London had been suggested by a correspondent. In the first place let me say that I think Lord Jellicoe, who is as good a Hew Zealander as any man born in the country, would make an excellent High Commissioner. But would he accept the position? hy should he? He has his own many interests to consider, his seat in the House of Lords, his country home in the Isle of Wight. "Why worry himself in his old age with the rcspon-
sibilities of the commissionership? The task of representing the Dominion in London is not an easy one, but it carries honour with it and is eagerly sought after. I hold the view that it! bestowal should be in the nature of a political Order of Merit and that a man of New Zealand birth, possessing ths necessary qualifications and havin: extensive political experience should be appointed to take over our business headquarters in the Strand. PTERIS.
