FOREIGN POLICY
NEW ZEALAND’S RIGHT AND DUTY. VIEWS OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS UNION. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, July 14. A statement issued by the Dominion Council of the League of Nations Union of New Zealand affirms that it is the right and duty of any Government of New Zealand to form and express its own views on foreign affairs, and not merely to accept without critimism the policy suggested by some other part of the British Commonwealth. It reaffirms its statement of policy of April 21, 1938, in which it expresses its approval of the Government’s League of Nations policy as set out in the memorandum of September, 1936, and its conviction that consistent and open support of the principles of the Covenant is the policy best suited to promote world peace and to provide a basis for wholehearted collaboration among the nations of the British Commonwealth. Being of opinion that the problem of achieving world peace is of paramount importance to the people of this and other countries, the Domion Council appeals to all parties and to the public to keep League of Nations policy above party politics.
