PACIFIC COUNTRIES
BETTER RELATIONS
AUSTRALIA'S INTENTIONS
(Received July 18, 9 a.m.)
CANBERRA, This Day.
In view of the disturbed relations between Britain and Japan, the Commonwealth Government does not intend at present to establish a Legation at Tokio. It is felt that this might be interpreted as a gesture favourable to
Japan and critical of British policy. The Commonwealth Government, however, will continue its efforts to promote ' good relations with other Pacific countries, including proposals for the exchange of diplomatic representatives with the United States and the setting up of Legations in Java, and China. A proposal to place an officer with diplomatic status in New Zealand will also be proceeded with.
