ITALY AND ETHIOPIA
■ RECOGNITION OF CONQUEST NEW ZEALAND ATTITUDE LONDON, May 24 In the House of Commons to-day Mr. Arthur Henderson (Labour —Kingswinford) asked what representations were received from the New Zealand Government regarding the policy of tie British Government in relation to recognition of the Italian conquest of Ethiopia and the extent to which the New Zealand Government would be affected by any such recognition on the part of the British Government. The Dominions Secretary, Lord Stanley, replied that it would not be in accordance with practice to publish the terms of the communications between Governments of the British Commonwealth regarding foreign policy. The Minister reminded Mr. Henderson that the attitude of the New Zealand Government toward the question of recognition was stated publicly by the New Zealand representative at the recent meeting of the League Council. The second part of the question, said Lord Stanley, related to a situation which so far had not arisen, but in general it would, of course, bo for the New Zealand Government to determine its policy in a matter of this kind.
