Bir Wahor touched off the row last month when he took the usual courte of asking 12 wages councils to reconsider in crenses they had approved for 1,500,000 workers,
Sir Walter has no power of veto but he can refer the pro- Tygnis back to the Council again.
NOT ENVISAGED FOR THE
PACIFIC
Honolulu Conference Due To Wind Up Today
Honolulu, Aug. 6.
The Foreign Ministers of the United States, Australia and New Zealand began the last and most important day of their talks today still undecided what ties, if any, they would seek with other non-Communist Pacific countries.
Also unsolved was the problem of a military staff to co-ordinate
the mutual defence efforts of the ANZUS nations if they were ever called
upon to repel an attack under the security treaty, which pledges each to come to the aid of the others.
An ANZUS spokesman predicted that the day's two meetings would
last much longer than the scheduled two hours each, to permit the Foreign Ministers to finish their business and adjourn.
