PACIFIC INTERESTS
CONFERENCE ENDS VALUABLE WORK DONE By Cable. —Press Association.—Copyright Reed. 9.5 a.m. HONOLULU, Friday. The Institute of Pacific Relations has officially closed its, sessions. Sir Frederick White, chief British delegate, in summarising the results for Britain said: “It was because of our experience in disagreement and our efforts for the peaceful solution of such disagreements that our Commonwealth is committed to the League of Nations. “This conference is a bold experiment, because of the men and women who have faith in the future. Iu our time its main value is in personal contact. If political, economic and social problems were not discussed, these contacts would still make the meetings worth while. The measure of agreement, even on most controversial subjects, was larger than would be believed possible. “Discussion of many points developed the need for more facts, for which the conference leans toward definite projects of research.” The Pacific Council met on July 25 for the purpose of signing the constitution of a permanent institute, and selecting a tentative place and time for the next meeting, which probably will be held in the Orient. —A. and N.Z.
