WEAKENING OF BRITAIN.
THE DESIRE FOR PEACE.
By Telegraph.-'Press Assn.—Copyright.
Received August 23, 8.20 pm. London, August 23. Mr. W. F. Massey, addressing the Working Men’s Club at Kew, said the Imperial Conference had done something definite in the cause of the Unity of the Empire in the direction of enabling it to speak with one voice as one nation. The delegates were being taken into complete confidence on international questions. “We all want to see permanent peace,” added Mr. Massey. “If it can be brought about by disarmament, by all means let us have it, but the Dominions view with some alarm the cutting down of the shipbuilding programme. If we do not take care we shall become a third-rate naval Power. I would like to see the great naval Powers—Britain, America and Japan—reach an agreement and decide to inform others that they do not intend joining in future wars.”—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
