Full Support From N.Z. Assurance Given By
Mr. Peter Fraser WELLINGTON, June 19 (Reuter). The people of New Zealand will support Britain to the very end, Mr. Peter Fruser said to-day.
They believe that with the immense resources of the Empire, victory can be finally achieved.
He told the House of Representa- tives to-day the Brilish people were determined to continue the fight not only because it was right to do so but also because they were confident that they could succeed.
New Zealand's Pledge New Zealand joined with other members of the Commonwealth in pledging herself to that end,
The battle about to begin was one which the British people were proud to fight. Mr. Fraser Gald Now Zen- land was still prouder to associate herself with them in this grave and fateful hour.
"All I can say now is that the people of New Zealand will not fall,” he concluded.
