MR LATHAM’S MISSION
WILL SERVE VALUABLE
PURPOSE
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright)
LONDON, 9th April
“The Times” says that Mr Latham’s mission to Japan has the warm approval the British Government, who believe it will serve a valuable 'purpose. Australia’s opinion lias resisted the efforts of the scaremonger and prefers to regard Japan as a friend. It is known that the Japanese Government will welcome direct diplomatic relations with Australia, hut Australia thus far has not favoured the idea of a more immediate interest in a trade agreement. Australian opinion is definitely turning from the ideal of self-sufficiency, and a change in sentiment will greatly facilitate commercial negotiations with Japan.
