N.Z. Parliament May Meet Earlier
P.A. WELLINGTON, April 2. Parliament may be called together earlier than the normal time this year, so that the ratification of the Geneva Trade Agreement can be discussed. At his press conference to-day, the Minister of Finance, the Rt. Hon. W. Nash, said that the last date on which New Zealand could become a signatory was June 30, and it might be necessary for Parliament to assemble, a week, or even a month earlier than usual. Although the Government had power to ratify .the Havana Charter without discussion by the House, it was not likely that such an important agreement would be ratified before Parliament met.
