THE PEACE PACT.

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9) PACT WILL GO TO U.S. WHEN IT IS SIGNED. {United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received August 27. 11.30 a.m.) PARIS, August 26. Every Pact delegate has arrived. The day was largely occupied by receptions on arrival, calling and returning calls. Mr Kellogg had a lengthy conversation with M. Poincare. There were fifty-eight guests at Mr Kellogg’s banquet at the United States Embassy. These included the signatories and their wives. The only absentee was Dr Stresemacn, who is acting on his doctor’s orders. The Pact, which is in French and English, will be photographed, and is expected to remain at Quai d’Orsay until signed by all those invited to do so. It will then go to America.—Australian Press Association.

3YA TO RE-BROADCAST PARIS CEREMONY.

Christchurch people who listen in to-morrow morning at 1 o’clock will hear a re-broadcast by 3YA of the London transmission of the signing of the Peace Pact at Paris. The ceremony takes place in Paris in the afternoon, probably about 2 o’clock (about 1 a.m. New Zealand time). Cables earlier this week stated that every effort would be made to catch every word uttered round the historic table. The re-broadcast from 3YA will depend largely upon the atmospheric conditions and the strength of the signals from London. Only once before has 3YA re-broad-cast London—on the occasion of the Anzac Day services this year. Other notable re-broadcasts successfuly carried out by the Christchurch station included the description of the arrival of Squadron-Leader Kingsford Smith at Brisbane, 'and the description of the Tunney-Heeney fight.
