Received Thursdav, 7 p.m. ADELAIDE, August 22. Someone liad slipped badlv, said Sir Douglas Mawson, addressing tlie Australian Xational Researeh Council on Australian whaling in Antactiea. He ••laimed that the Government should citlier exploit the Antarctie or withdraw. "Japanese whaling fleets, operating without permits or restrictions, were a constant source of' worry before the wai'," he said. 1 ' Wlien peace i*ame I expected Australia woutd ask for oue or two Japanese whaling sliips as reparations. Xow, we hear that America is fitting out for Antarctie whaling Japanese sliips wliicli sliould be ours as war prizes. I am the only person in Australia with extensive knowledge aiid experienoe of the Antarctie terrain and ronditions, yet the Governmpnt has uever asked for my opinion."
