-Preat Assn.
British Commonwealth Of Nations MR SAVAGE'S HOPES
(By Telegraph-
— Copyrieht.)
(Received 15, 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, May 14. The Prime Minister of New Zealand, the R-t. Hon. M. J. Savage, in his speech at the Imperial Conference, affirmed New Zealand's warm attachment to Britain. He attributed no particular importance to the theoretical basis of the British Commonwealth, as he found no difficulties in conducting the Dominion' s affairs with complete freedom, but he would be happy to coLk%.orate in any clarification of the cons ututional position, if other Governments desired it, "provided our association is made more fruitful and ever closer," he said. "The influence of the Commonwealth is undiminished as the greatest force for peace and justice existing in the world to-day," he declared. "New Zealand is confident that it is possible for all of us to sink our individual viewpoint© to attain a common end, and that will be my delegation's guiding principle. The conference must resist the temptation to content itself with innoeuous and unhelpful formula. I, for one, will be most disappointed if, after coming thousands of miles, I am unhappily forced to return without effective results."
