NOTABLE TRIBUTE
PAID TO NEW ZEALAND TROOPS CHURCHILL’S WORDS CHEERED IN COMMONS. “REALLY REMARKABLE OVATION.” (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, July 2. “Mr Churchill’s generous praise of the New Zealanders in Egypt, raised the loudest cheers of the debate,” says the New Zealand Press Association’s special correspondent. » The cheers were even louder than those that greeted the defeat of the motion of censure. It would warm the hearts of the whole of Ney Zealand could they hear a record of that volume of deep-throated “hearhearing” which immediately broke out when Mr Churchill referred to “one reinforcement the enemy knew all about —the New Zealanders.” The cheers, which had scarcely died down, again broke out as Mr Churchill continued his comments. It was a_ really remarkable ovation, on which many comments were made after the debate, showing the very high regard in which 7 New Zealand is held by the Commons. “When Mr Churchill added, ‘The New Zealand Government, themselves under the menace of potential invasion. . . . .’ Cheers drowned his remarks.
