JAP MISSION.
VISIT TO AUSTRALASIA. PROPOSAL ABANDONED. .(By Wire.—Parliamentary Reporter.) 1 Wellington, Last Night. Some time ago the Japanese Government indicated through the Japanese Ambassador in London that it intended to send a special mission to Australia and New Zealand. This mission was to include naval and military officers of high standing, and its purpose was to bring about a better understanding between the Japanese Government on the one hand, and the Commonwealth and Dominion Governments on the other hand. The commissioners would have travelled in a Japanese warship. The scheme, has been abandoned, as ft result of fepresentations made through the British Ambassador in Tokio. The New Zealand Government, it is understood, did not regard the mission with , favor, although it recognised the valuable services that had been rendered to the Dominion by the Japanese fleet during the war. The Australian Government definitely protested against the mission, on the ground that it would create difficulties and raise questions that were better left alone.
