Government and League of Nations
[Per Press Associaiion. Copy right .l WELLINGTON, This Day. A statement issued by the Dominion Council of the League of Nations Union of New Zealand affirms that it is the right and duty of any Government to form and express its own views on foreign affairs, and not merely 'accept, without criticism, the policy suggested by some other part of the British Commonwealth.
It reaffirms its statement of policy of April 21, 1938, in which it expresses its approval of the Government’s League of Nations policy, as set out in the memorandum of September, 1936, and its conviction that consistent and open support of the principles of the Covenant is the policy best suited to promote world pe'ace, and to provide a basis for wholehearted collaboration among the nations of the British Commonwealth. Being of the opinion that the problem of achieving world peace is of paramount importance to this, and to the people of other countries, the Dominion Council appeals to all parties and to the public to keep the League of Nations policy above party politics.
