MR. FRASER SUPPORTS CANADIAN VIEW

Empire Foreign Policy (Received July 2, S p.m.) OTTAWA, June 30. At a Press conference Mr. Fraser, discussing Pacific problems, said that an hour’s round-table conversation when the time came should be sufficient for complete agreement .between the United States and all other Pacific countries regarding the future organization, territories and bases. Mr. Fraser supported the idea of the greatest, possible international freedom of the air with international control; at the sane time,. it was only right, be said, that the British nag should among those flown on the Pacific air-line.

Mr. Fraser told the Press conference; “It is no good at all for the Commonwealth of Nations to enter international organizations en bloc.” Indicating his approval of Mr. Mackenzie King s stand that each Dominion should speak for itself in foreign policy, Mr. Fraser declared : “Collaboration, consultation and mutual help in pence and war, yes; but subordination, no.” He added that New’ Zealand freely conceded the right of the United Kingdom, Russia, China and the United States to be permanent members of the council of the post-war world organization, in which New Zealand, as a member of the assembly, would have her turn at membership in the council with the other smaller Powers.
