NO STRAIGHT DEALING POSSIBLE
ANOTHER REVELATION OF GERMAN DUPLICITY - Australian-New Zealand Cable Association, (Rec. October 2, 8.35 p.m.) London, October 1. _ A White Paper, which haa been published, discloses the correspondence whioh passed _ respecting the granting of relief supplies in territories in enemy occupation. Viscount Grey, in a dispatch to Sir Cecil Spring-Rice (British Minister at Washington), says: "The negotiations' showed that the enemy never intended to'fulfil'his obligations under the rules of war as recognised by all civilised countries, and the negotiations were so conducted as to confuse' the issues and throw the greatest possible odium on the Allies. The whole discussion, so tar as the Austro-Germau Governments were concerned, was only a move in a deep policy to csctte public opinion against the legitimate use oi sea power of those who are fighting foi the principle of nationality,;and so long as the Central Powers occupy the Allies' territory thoy will continue to use civilians as they have used' thorn in a thousand towns and villages in France and .Belgium, not as non-combatants, but as hostages and forced labourers."
