PACIFIC BASIN
Enthusiasm At Meeting (N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) SAN FRANCISCO. May 15. The Pacific Basin Economic Co-operation Committee has opened its annual meeting in San Francisco, enthusiastic about the future and hopeful of improved relations with China. Chairmen of the five member nations—Australia. Canada, Japan, New Zealand and the United States—outlined their programme for the three-day meeting yesterday. It did not include Vietnam. However, it was apparent that the Vietnam conflict was playing a big role in whatever plans the committee had. Spokesmen emphasised today that the group was nonpolitical although it had been encouraged by the respective governments and the keynote was free enterprise. For this reason alone, China would be excluded, they said.
