TOO MUCH SECRECY
THE GENEVA CONFERENCE SIR JAMES PARR'S VIEWS BRITISH PLAN'S MISREPRESENTED.
(Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (N.Z., and A.P.A., and Sun.l (Received July 11, 11 a.m.) LONDON, July .10.
"Empire interests are suffering as a result of secret meetings which only give an opportunity for unscruplous sections of the foreign press to misrepresent our proposals and invent the most grotesque fables. I hope future meetings will he open to the press. This is the only way to arrest the mendacious campaign," declared Sir Jus. Parr, on arrival last night from Geneva.
tie added: "The only cure for a raider is a cruiser. Britain's claim to 70 cruisers is reasonable to intelligent civilia'n New Zcalanders and Australians, with 12,000 miles of trade routes to protect. They support Britain's measures to keep the highways clear. If the conference breaks down it will be because the nations decline to recognise the facts about our farHung Empire."
