NO FINALITY
MR NASH IN LONDON NEGOTIATIONS NOT COMPLETED CONSULTATIONS WITH MR SAVAGE (Tisom Our Parliamentary Reporter) WELLINGTON, July 12. Finality in his negotiations in London had not been reached tonight by the Minister of Finance (Mr Nash), who reported progress in a radio-telephone conversation with the Prime Minister (Mr Savage) earlier in the evening. Mr Nash told the Prime Minister that he still hoped to be able to complete all the details in time to catch the Queen Mary at Southampton. " I told him to stay there until all the negotiations were completed,” Mr Savage said. “He said he hoped to be able to catch the liner, but that would depend on what progress was made.” Mr Savage said that when all the negotiations were finished a full statement would be issued simultaneously in New Zealand and in Britain. All the aspects of Mr Nash’s mission were so closely inter-related that until finality was reached he was not in a position to detail progress on any one of them. This statement, the Prime Minister said, might be expected reasonably soon.
Mr Savage also spoke with Mr Nash by radio-telephone last night. He said that reception was good and that he was able to converse with ease.
