PACIFIC RELATIONS
The annual meeting of the Wellington group of the Institute of Pacific Relations was held last week.
The election of officers resulted as follows: —Chairman, Dr. A. G. Butchers; hon. treasurer, Mr. A. H. Maciver; hon. secretary, Miss M. Seaton; committee, Dr. W. R. B. Oliver, Dr. J. W. Mcllraith, Mr. W. B. Matheson, Mr. S. Keruse, and Mr. G. Gabites.
The speaker for the evening was Mr. T. D. H. Hall, who gave some of his impressions of his recent trip to America, England, and Europe. In America it was noticeable that the problems of the Eastern and Western States were so very different that it was difficult to form an American policy. Another difficulty was the large groups of foreign peoples who had not been assimilated into the national group. Canada's destiny appeared to be wrapped up with that of the United States. The natural flow of trade was between Canada and the States, but trade barriers were a great difficulty.
