THE PACIFIC PROBLEM.
London, June 14,
Mr Massey, interviewed regarding statements by Mr Hughes and Mr Watts on Germany in the Pacific, points out that the matter was considered at the Imperial Conference of 193,7. “Japan js safeguarding the North' Pacific, while Britain guarantees Australia and the South Pacific, therefore intervention by a friendly Power is not necessary.” The Evening News, under the heading “Back Up Hughes,” urges tlrtit the voice of the overseas delegates will be dead against the return of the colonies to the Huns on any terms whatever. “The idea in Government circles seems to be that the less said the better. We believe that commercial Germany should be made to understand that her colonial Empire has gone for good and all. That will help the Huns to realise that the attack on the civilised world is not paying. The longer she holds out the more complete will be the ruin of her trade. We know what would happen to our possessions if Germany won the war. Mr Hughes will have popular opinion in Britain behind him in this matter.”
