If there are’ no unforeseen delays, Mr. Massey will reach London ten days or so before the date fixed for the opening of the Imperial Conference, line will be scant time for the many important duties that he has to undertake in addition to representing New Zealand in the discussion of Imperial affairs. An endeavour to negotiate a loan is one of Mr. Massey’s ta£ks. Then there is the question of the surplus wool profits. The producers’ conference has asked Mr Massey to take? up the discussion of this matter with the Imperial author ities, and has authorised him to effect a final settlement on behalf of the New Zealand farmers. He will require to give some attention to the problems connected with the disposal of meat, and he will be likely to find himself involved in the discussion of shipping freights.
