OTTAWA CONFERENCE.
DOMINION’S DELEGATION. Per Press Association. DANNEVIRKE, March 11. A suggestion was made at a large meeting representative of farming and commercial interests, from Pahiatua to Dannevirke, that Sir James Parr should be recommended to the Government as one of the Dominion delegates for the Ottawa Conference.
Sir James, who had just previously given an impressive address on Empire trade, said that the suggestion was a surprise to him. He had not thought of asking for, or seeking, an appointment as delegate, but he was quite willing to assist in the preparatory work. The personnel of the delegation was purely a matter for the Government-to decide.
The meeting decided unanimously to recommend his appointment to the Government.
