MARSHAL SIR C. NEWALL
VALUE TO NEW ZEALAND. EMPHASISED BY INTERVIEWER. “It may seem strange that a young leader has been withdrawn from his position, but if the war arena should move from west to east, he will be of tremendous value to New Zealand,” said Mr Hector Bolitho, the New Zea; land author and journalist, in a talk broadcast from Daventry last night on Marshal Sir Cyril Newall, GovernorGeneral designate of New Zealand. After dealing with Sir Cyril’s career, which he described as one full of action and packed with great knowledge and experience, Mr Bolitho said that it was most fitting that New Zealand which had done more proportionately in its air effort'that any other Empire country, should now have the advantage of that experience.
Mr Bolitho said that in an interview he had asked Sir Cyril what he thought of New Zealand. His reply was: “Frankly, my wife and I have longed to go to New Zealand. I knew many New Zealanders in the last war and I know many in this. I like 'their courage and directness.”
