THE PACIFIC PROBLEM.
AUSTRALIA'S ATTITUDE,
(By Cabts.—Preera Association.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cablo Aasociation.)
July 14. Mr W. M. Hughes, speaking at the Pilgrims' Club, reiterated thnt Australia's policy as regards Germany's possessions in tlje Pacific was inexorably "Hands, off the Pacific." These* islands stretched like a barrier acrosß the routes to ether lands, and whoever commanded these routes commanded Australia, which could, not agree to a peace which would permit New Guinea to bo returned to Germany. The Pacific was going to be tho sccpa of many internal complications and racial problems. Until Geimany was democratised she must not be permitted to cast the shadow of despotic rule over lands whose development depended on freedom. Australia's policy carried great and grave responsibilities. but she was prepared to fight on until victory" was assured. He was also sure thnt America would piit her veto against German influence in the Pacific.
