MR. MASSEY.
ARRIVAL IN LONDON,
THE ANGLO-JAPANESE THE.i'"Y. •
London, May 2(5.
A representative of the Colonial Office, Sir James Allen, and many New Zealanders welcomed Mr Massey at Euston Station. Mr Massey, in an interview, was disinclined to discuss the agenda paper of the Imperial Conference. Questioned with regard to the Anglo-Japanese Treaty, he said that there was nothing to lose, and probably much to gain, by its renewal. All he desired was that any modification or alteration should be freely ventilated at the Conference. As far as New Zealand was concerned, all she insisted on was the right to choose whom she shall admit as citizens. New Zealand was keenly interested in defence, and was already fulfilling the task of navally policing the Pacific Islands. She,hoped to bear a, part in any co-ordinated defence policy.
. Mr Massey spoke hopefully of New Zealand’s financial position. Mr Massey expects to devote the time before the Conference meets to dealing with commercial and financial matters of importance to the Dominion.
