PEACE OF THE WORLD

ANOTHER LE\AGUE OF NATIONS. "THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH." "One of the things wo are interested in is what is taking place in Amerioa regarding the Peaco Treaty of the League of Nations," Mr Massey remarked to the New Zealand Newspaper Proprietors' Association last evening. Most people, he said, wore sorry that these had been made party questions in America. Ho had hotted for great things from the-League and had nob yet given up hope, though there was little prospect of it being ratified in the desired form. Though the League of Nations night not bo as successful as most of us would wish it to he, ho hoped we a-ould do everything wo *:ould to strengthen the other League of Nations —'the nations of the British Commonwealth. This League was growing in influence and ho thought the day would come when the world would look to it to .naintain the general pence. What this British League was going to bo liko in population hy the end of the present century no one could predict. For fifty years there had been, a continuous stream of immigrants going out of Great Britain to foreign lrr.ds, but now inducement was tP be offered to British immigrants to go to countries flying their own flag. He hoped New Zealand would get its full proportion of these immigrants. He was certain thoy would be good citizens. Our trouble was not to find room for them hero, but to provide the shipping.
