He so id he hoped the Peace Conference would find time -lo deal definitely.' with the- allocation of Antarctic lands, as he felt that these regions were going to '.be of very considerable economic value. Hβ thought fhey , might fairly claim that the section of the Antarctic between 90deg. and ISOdeg. east should be under the control of Australia. Once whaling and sailing, which are things of the near future, had begun, there would have to bo control. There were immense areas of conl-bearing country in the Antarctic, but he did not think they would be developed for a. very long time.—Press Asen.
