NATIONS OF THE PACIFIC
A COMMERCIAL CONFERENCE
WELLINGTON, August 19.
Passing through Wellington to-day were Dr Goddard, director of the Hawaiian Bureau of Governmental Research, and Mr H. C. Tennant, who are endeavouring to arrange for a delegation from New Zealand to attend a commercial conference at Honolulu in May of next year. The representatives are picked men from the United States, China, Japan, and, it is hoped, other countries bordering on the Pacific, to discuss trade problems, including tariffs.
Dr Goddard says the conference is purely commercial, and not a Government affair. Many business people in the States are not satisfied with the present tariffs and the time is considered ripe for a round-table conference.
