THE PACIFIC AREA.
PROBLEMS TO BE MET. Per Press Association. NELSON, Oct. 25. Mr F. G. Milner, rector of the Waitaki Boys’ High School, delivered the annual Cawthron Lecture last evening to a large gathering, his subject being Political and Economic Conflict in the Pacific. In an impressive address, Mr Milner made an appeal for Anglo-Ameri-can co-operation and sympathetic investigation of Japan’s problems. The position in the Pacific, he said, was worse to-day than when the joint statesmanship of Britain and America before an incredulous world staved off Armageddon by the Washington Pact, which for 14 years had kept the pence. Surely these two great Powers to-day could transcend war debts, trading rivalries, and shipping disputes and again, by summoning Japan to a frank conference, find a pacific solution for her overwhelming problems. He asked was national feeling so callous as to disregard Japan’s overwhelming problems or constructive statesmanship so beggared as to fail in a solution.
