SANE AND MODERATE MOVEMENT

PROPOSED NEW GROUP OF SOCIALISTS. WORLD-WIDE ORGANISATION PROPOSAL. United Press Association—By Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright (Received August 25, 8.15 p.m.) BANFF, August 24. At the Institute of Pacific Relations steps were taken on Thursday to organise a new international group of Socialists in countries having interests in the Pacific area. The initiative of forming the new group was taken by Lord Snell, a member of the British Group, attending the conference, to' association with Mr Walter Nash, M.P., leader of the New Zealand group. Mr Nash explained that the effort would be made in the interest of leading Socialists in every country, having contacts with the Pacific area, with a view to exchanging information. He said that valuable work could be done for humanity through such interchange and the labour organisations of the world would benefit. Whether a more formal organisation would be effected later, Mr Nash could not say, although an effort would be made in that direction. Mr Nash also indicated that the new group would vigorously oppose Bolshevism, Communism and the more rapid forms of modern Socialism. It was defined as a sane, moderate and constructive Socialist movement.
