COOK ISLANDS
JUDGE AYSON’S WORK PRAISED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The action of the Government in sending Judge H. F. Ayson back to the Cook Islands as Resident Commissioner, was commended by Mr S. G. Holland (Opposition, Christchurch North), when discussing the Estimates of the External Affairs Department, in the House of Representatives * yesterday. Judge Ayson should never have been taken away, said Mr Holland. He was a very capable officer and an outstanding personality in the islands. It was almost certain that n good deal of the trouble brewing in the Cook Islands would now disappear. Mr Holland said the Government had spent money on sending a Parliamentary delegation to the Cook Islands. He had had the honour of being a member of the delegation, but he regretted that the Government had not seen fit to consult him on. one single question affecting the territory. If his advice had been sought it would have been given readily. He was prepared at all times to make what contribution he could toward the happiness of the natives.
