Mr Massey (Prime Minister of New Zealand), in a speech delivered, at the Newcastle Chamber of Commerce, said (hat in all the fluctuations of the war the Dominions had not lost confidence in the Allies’ final success. Our first duty after victory would he to punish Germany for her atrocities, The business of the Imperial Conference had been tremendously important, for which it was well worth crossing the world, because the Dominions took their place in a partnership which he believed would continue after the war. There could then be a permanent Imperial Cabinet. The German hammer had welded the British Empire into an indissoluble mass. “We must,” so-said, “think of the Empire in future. The time will come when the Dominions will possess twenty people to the square mile. Then the Empire’s strength will he enormous. Now is the time to make such arrangements for the future as will keep the Empire in the front rank of the nations) for all time. Businesslike, states-* manlike management can do this.” Mr Massey -concluded by issuing a warning against pacifists and German methods of peaceful penetration.
