She will not allow any dictation regarding who will enter that country, no matter what the Disarmament Conference may say or do." He added: "New Zealand will not change her attitude, which is well known. Japan may bring up the question of Oriental immigration, but as far as New Zealand is concerned there will be no discussion on that subject at the Conference. We still ckini an inalienable right to choose our fellow-citizens." Regretting the inability of himself and Mr. Hughes to attend the Conference, Mr. Massey said that no countries in the world were so much interested in the future of the Pacific as Australia and New Zealand. He was strongly of opinion that an umfcrstanding between the United States* Japan, and the British Empire was more likely to lead to a solution of the Pawfic problem than anything else he could think of. ,'
