DEPLORABLE STATE OF AFFAIRS.
. FRANCE AND BRITAIN IN THE . NEW HEBRIDES. N.S.W. PREMIER'S VIEWS. By Telecra-Db—Press Association—Copyrljht Sydney, January 3. Replying to criticisms deprecating the action of missionaries in dwelling on tho fact that New Hobrides offenders aro French, Mr. M'Gowen (Minister of Labour) said: "Thoro is nothing against tho French, as French. There aro British law-breakers as well as French, but tho vast majority aro French." What mado tho situation grave, he added, was tho apparent connivance at the existing deplorable state of affairs by the French Administration. On tho British plantations fair conditions of lifo were generally maintained. Tho French, on tho contrary, furnished examples of exploitation that could only be called slavery.
