On Foreign Policy

The New Zealand Institute of Public Administration held its annual convention in Wellington recently, this year's theme being "The Administration of New Zealand's External Relations." The Institute is a scholarly body whose publications have a worldwide reputation.

The papers presented for discussion topics such as "N.Z. in the South Pacific," "External Aid" and "N.Z's Participation in International Organisations."

The need was emphasised for New Zealand to have an effective foreign policy if it is going to ensure development of our contribution to world peace and a fair deal to those people now underprivileged. —J.L.
