“MAN WITH A PROBLEM.”

MR NASH’S ENGAGEMENTS. CAPACITY FOR WORK PRAISED. (Special LONDON, June 26. The capacity for work of the Minister of Finance and Minister of Marketing, the 'Hon. Walter Nash, was praised this week by a well-known Fleet Street Journalist, Mr John Stow, in his column In the Daily Herald. A caricature of Mr Nash by Mr J. Allen, a New ZeaJand caricaturist whose work used frequently to appear In the Christchurch Press and other publications, was also published. “A man with a problem,” was how the Minister 'was described. "He has to leave for New Zealand early in July, and has to fulfil a mass of engagements before he goep,” states the writer. “Meeting him. you would not think he was in a hurry. Stocky, quietspoken, urbane, he manages to get through an amazing amount of work without apparent effort. A Full-time Job. “And this trip has been no round of Coronation celebrations. On top of his visits to Germany and Russia he has had a full-time job here urging the ‘regulated expansion of trade’ between tho United Kingdom and New Zealand. “Walter Nash has an astonishing capaoity for clear-speaking and clearwriting. Over here he has been putting New Zealand’s straight programme in a straight way, avoiding all Irrelevencles. In New Zealand It is said that when he prepares a Bill every M.P. can understand it. That’s one more thing we oan learn from the Dominion statesmen.”
