MONEY FOR REFUGEES.
NEW ZEALAND’S CONTRIBUTION. i SIR JAMES ALLEN’S STATEMENT. (Sun Cable.) GENEVA, Sept. 26. Sir James Allen, addressing the Assembly regarding the settlement of Armenian and Russian (refugees, said New Zealand had subscribed voluntarily probably more than any other country for European refugees. If the League resorted to the taxpayers’ pockets as suggested, he affirmed the voluntary effort would be stemmed completely. He could not pledge New Zealand to make a contribution for 1925. The Dominion had paid its full contribution for 1924, but he could not guarantee its continuation. He was sorry it was necessary to make this reservation, because he was fully in sympathy with the work that was being carried out.
