PEACE OF THE WORLD.

ANOTHER LEAGUE OP NATIONS. "THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH." "One of the things we are interested in is what is taking place in America regarding the Poace Treaty of the League cf Nations," Mr. Massey remarked to the New Zealand Newspapers" Proprietors Association. Most people, he said, were sorry that these had been made party questions in America. He had hoped for great things from the League and had not yet given up hope, though there was little prospect of it being ratified in the desired form. Though the League of Nations might not be as successful as most of us would wisli it to be, he hoped we would do everything we could to strengthen the other League of Nations —the nations of the British Commonwealth. This League was growing in influence, and he thought the day would come when the world would look to it to maintain the general peace. What this British League, was going to be like in population by the end of the present century no one coukl predict. For fifty years there had been a continuous stream of immigrants going out of Great Britain to foreign lands, but now inducement was to be offered to British immigrants to go to countries flying their own flag. He hoped New Zealand would get its full proportion of these immigrants. He was certain that they would bo good citizens. Our trouble was not to find room for them here, but to provide the shipping.
