GENERAL HURLEY
POST IN NEW ZEALAND RESIGNED. NEW DUTIES IN MIDDLE & NEAR EAST. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) WASHINGTON, March 23. President Roosevelt announced that the American Minister to New Zealand, Brigadier-General P. Hurley, had resigned to take up duties as the President’s general utility man in the Middle and Near East. General Hurley sent a letter to President Roosevelt regretting the necessity of leaving his post. “I cannot refrain from expressing the deep sentiments of fellowship and unity of ideals I experienced among the officials and people of New Zealand. As a people and a Dominion, New Zealand has never committed a crime. It has the fairest history of any English-speak-ing nation, and I think any nation in the world. In its century of existence, New Zealand has-always endeavoured to apply the golden rule to the solution of its problems. New Zealand’s record is one to which the Englishspeaking people of the wide world may justly .point with pride.”
