FIRM STAND ACCLAIMED NIW ZEALAND AND ABYSSINIA NOR-NEOOQNITION of conqubst united Free, Man,—Kite. Tel. Copyright (Received May 20, 11. SB a.m.) LONDON, May 10 Cables, telegrams, telephone calls and letters, one of the latter from Halle Selaeele, ore pouring In on Mr W. Jordan, High Oomsloner, after his return yesterday from Geneva, congratulating New Zealand on Its stand for Abyssinia. Dozens of letters have arrived from all parte of the United Kingdom, chleflly from nonpolltlcal organisations. A feature is the number from Conservative clergymen, one of whom writes: “I am one of many English Conservatives who are bitterly ashamed of the action taken by Britain at Geneva, and J would like to tell you how grateful I and many others feel at New Zealand’s stand for non-recognition of the conquest of Abyssinia. It is extremely comforting to know that at least one member of the British Commonwealth stands for principle before expedience and is not afraid to support the rights of feeble nations! The Australian Associated Press understands that Mr Jordan is likely to be appointed President of the League of Nations Council at a meeting in September.
