PLANS OF SIR JAMES PARR
RUS HVISIT-TO NEW ZEALAND. London, Dec. IS. Sir James Parr -said to-day he had intended in a few days to embark on a rush visit to New Zealand, where he would spend a fortnight seeing his friends. Unfortunately his associates in the Empire Trade movement were most anxious for him to begin his new mission in March, * so he must therefore delay his return to New Zealand until the end of 1930. The promoters had asked him to be one of the chief spokesmen and organisers, also to carry out secretarial duties, which would include considerable speechmaking in the provinces. He had accepted. the appointment largely because he felt he could at present do better work in Britain for New Zealand and her primary industries than he could there. When he returned to New Zealand he hoped to engage in some useful service for the country. Sir James Parr’s friends aro wondering whether his new activities will lead to his entrance into British politics.
