N.Z. Minister
IN the re-arrangement of portfolios following the death of the Prime Minister in New Zealand (Mr. Sav age) the portfolios of External Affairs and Cook Islands have been given to Mr. F. Langstone, Minister for Lands.
Mr. Langstone is the gentleman who led the never-to-be-forgotten “Goodwill Mis sion” to Western Samoa, in 1936, and who there, on one bright, sunny morn ing, paralysed cocoa planters with the announcement that, as he did not like Chinamen, they must lose no time in sending all their Chinese labour back to China. Some of his other acts con nected with Pacific Islands affairs have shown a similar standard of statesman ship, so that Pacific Islands residents, generally, will v/elcome his advent as Minister.
