ALARMING SITUATION
ARMAMENTS RACE IN PACIFIC MR. DOWNIESTEWART’S WARNING
Press Association. —Copyright. Banff, Aug. 27,
The former Finance Minister of New Zealand, Mr. W. Downie Stewart, staxiled the members of the Institute of Pacific Relations at a farewell dinner by declaring that the institute might as well have discussed the present feverish building of battleships by the great nations on both sides of the Pacific Ocean. If the causes of friction were studied by the institute the building of war fleets could not be properly ignored, he said, but should be taken into consideration before serious events occurred.
Mr. Stewart mentioned the seething cauldron in Europe and said he felt that while the situation in the Pacific was alarming enough it was not so gloomy as in the Old World. He hoped the institute would be afforded an opportunity to study the insistent causes of conflict which were bringing about the threat of war.
The institute’s conference has concluded.
