PROBLEMS OF THE PACIFIC.
PEACE OF WORLD INVOLVED. SPEECH BY MR. W. M. HUGHES. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyrlgrt. Received Sept. 30, 10.40 p.m. Melbourne. Sept. 30. In the House of Representatives Mr. W. M. Hughes, in fulfilment of a promise, addressed the House on the work of the Imperial Conference, emphasising that he had not committed Australia to any expenditure, and that everything wa* subject to Parliament’s approval. Referring to the Pacific and Australia’s relations with Japan, he asked members not to forget that unless Japan was content to be stagnant in the backwater she must have room to expand. This was a modern riddle of the Sphinx, for which an answer must be found.
Referring to the abandonment of the preliminary Pacific Conference, Mr. Hughes said he saw no hope of disarmament until the Pacific problems had been sealed, and this could only be done by a modus vivendi satisfactory to Japan, America and Australasia. Mr. Hughes concluded by stating that peace in the Pacinc means peace for the Empire and the world.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
