LONDON, 25th February.
Although the Imperial Premiers' Conference is certain to discuss British relations with Japan, Sir James Allen (High Commissioner for New Zealand) disagrees with- Sir John Findlay that a modification of the treaty is imminent; Sir James does not accept the view that Mr. Lloyd George exerted pressure on Mr. Massey to attend the Conference in connection with the treaty. IHe, considers the pressure was merely due to the important questions on the agenda, including the effects of the League of Nations' foreign armament schemes upon Imperial defence, regarding which onh- Mr. Massey is able to speak authoritatively on New Zealand's behalf. Sir James added: " New Zealand has no quarrel or fear of Japan, and views the treaty as an ample safeguard of her good"faith."
