GREAT LEADER
* MAJOR-GENERAL FREYBERG WARMLY GREETED. CIVIC RECEPTION TENDERED IN WELLINGTON. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Rising to their feet in a burst of spontaneous cheering, a vast and enthusiastic gathering in the Town Hall gave a fitting welcome to Major-Gen-eral Freyberg, whose appointment as G.O.C. of the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force has met with approbation throughout Great Britain and New Zealand. His qualities of leadership, contempt of danger, solicitude for his men and other attributes that have made his exploits in the last conflict almost legendary were extolled by representatives of the Wellington City Corporation, the Government and returned soldiers of the Dominion. In the words of the Hon Peter Fraser, they were paying tribute to a great leader in whom rested greatest confidence.
