OUR PACIFIC DIVISION
AMERICAN OFFICER’S TRIBUTE. (By Telegraph —Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. “In New Zealand you have not heard much about that other division of your troops in the Pacific, but if the time comes that division will be heard from,” declared Colonel J. H. Nankivell, United States Military Attache in Wellington, addressing members of the New Zealand Founders’ Society on Saturday night. He added that he had recently visited them in various parts of the Pacific. In New Zealand, also, he had taken every opportunity of visiting the Dominion forces. The success of the Germans and the Japanese was due to their faith in themselves and in their leaders, even if they were wrong ideals, Colonel Nankivell considered. “It is up to us to have as great a faith if we are to win the war because there are no two greater men to be at the helm than Churchill and Roosevelt,” he added. That faith was developing and there was no longer any complacency in the United States.
