NO SIGN OF PANIC
CONDITIONS DURING CRISIS
IN ENGLAND PLANS TO REMOVE CHILDREN FROM LONDON. PEOPLE OF OLD COUNTRY PRAISED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Mr F. H. Pickwick, an Englishman living in retirement in Auckland, who returned by the Arawa today, said there was not a great deal of evidence of war scare. One thing that impressed him was mothers sending their children out of London into the country. Some of the poorer women had: just a bundle of clothing wrapped in a newspaper for the children. Arrangements. had been made to. evacuate three million children in three days, at the rate of-a hundred thousand an hour. The whole of the London transport system was to be commissioned if the need arose. People watched the digging of .trenches quite calmly and ; no one showed any sign of panic. “You can’t beat the people of the Old Country,” said Mr Pickwick. “They have been through many trials and ! tribulations and will always face up to their difficulties. People may criticise the Old Country, but there is no other country in the world like it.”
