RICH IN IDEAS
PRESS DELEGATES BENEFIT BY TRIP ABROAD HIGH COMMISSIONER’S LUNCH Reed. 11.10 a.m. LONDON, Wed. Sir Thomas Wilford, New Zealand High Commissioner in London, at a luncheon to the New Zealand Press Conference delegates, said he was sure they would derive incalculable benefit from their associations at Home, and the exchange of ideas with men of world-wide experience in the hub of the Empire. Sir Thomas specially welcomed Mr. Blundell of New Zealand as one of those who had given the Press of New Zealand the good name it holds, and undoubtedly deserves in the United Kingdom. He was sure, he said, that the delegates must have been struck with the high appreciation of New Zealand here. Mr. W. R. Wilson, of Auckland, in responding, said the delegates had been treated right royally. They owed a great debt of gratitude to the leaders of the Press in Great Britain, who had done everything to make the visit most enjoyable. Mr. Gilmour, in proposing Sir Thomas Wilford’s health, endorsed Mr. Wilson’s remarks. The delegates sang the Maori version of “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow.”
