The following telegram has been received from the Prime Minister at Washington:
Prime Minister to Prime Minister of New Zealand.
Your telegrams [No. 257] and No. 253.4 I am consulting the President and his officers about the points involved.
I will send you a full telegram shortly about all the measures we are taking in conjunction with the United States to cope with the Japanese in the Pacific.
I profoundly admire the courage and composure with which New Zealand is facing the new situation so full of immediate danger and of ultimate safety.
