But fortunately the President of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce was a pas- Isenger on the Clipper and did a stroke of business for the Califor- nia wine industry. The Governor said New Zealan- ders showed great enhusiasm over the arrival of the Clipper linking their country with the United States. He said he was impressed during his stay there with evi- dences of the “very close tie which |binds us with our cousins under the Union Jack.” Council Talk Postponed Next week Dr. W. W.
