GENEVA CONFERENCE
SHOULD BE OPEN TO THE PRESS SIR C, J. PARR, SPEAKS OUT. (Received 11 a.m.) Electric Telegraph—Pres* Association LONDON, July 10. “Empire interests are suffering as a result of secret meetings which only give an opportunity for unscrupulous sections of the foreign press to misrepresent our proposals and invent the most grotesque fables. I hope that future meetings will be open to the press. This is the only way to arrest the mendacious campaign,” declared Sir C. J. Parr on liis arrival last night from Geneva. He added: “The only cure for tlie raider is the cruiser. Britain’s claim to seventy cruisers is reasonable to the intelligent civilian. New Zealanders and Australians, with twelve thousand milets of trade route to protect -them, snppprt Britain’s proposal to keep her own sightways clear. If the conference breaks down it will be because the nations decline to recognise the facts about our far-flung Empire.”
