U.S. FORCES' TRIALS
NEW AGREEMENT WELCOMED (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Friday. "I think that this arrangement would be approved of,, if not welcomed, by the legal* profession throughout New Zealand," said the president of the New Zealand Law Society, Mr. H. F. O'Leary, when asked how the profession viewed the agreement between the United States and the New Zealand Government by which the American authorities are granted exclusive jurisdiction in respect of criminal offences committed or alleged to have been committed by members of the American armed forces in New Zealand. "We do know," he continued, "that a similar arrangement has operated in Great Britain for some time, and as far as we know it has worked smoothly. It seems to me that what hari been arranged is neceasary to meet the circumstances as they exist to-day. 1 would think that the arrangement would work satisfactorily, as it has in Great Britain."
