■ . Sydney, August 11. j« « article in the Sydney "Suu" on the Whito AustriKii" policy states that the question whether the principle of the policy of a Whito Australia, is iu jeopardy must bo finally answered tiy tlio end of the year At the conforencu »n Gcuoya, when the Australian mandate in the Pacific will ho promulgated. It 6tates that secret diplomacy still precludes the public from knowing all that happens between the .Chancelleries, •but-thore is the very best reason for stating that Japan has very decidedly, nnd upon several occasions, endeavoured to abort tho White Australia policy, nnd will undoubtedly attempt to destroy it again at Geneva, where the policy mi) bo canvassed in a far inoro detached and academic spirit. There will 'bo a greater number of delegates, with a greater namlwr of votes, which may swing or against Australia; and. once a decision •is reached, Australia must either 6ubnijt or break away from the League of Nations. The- article states tl\at unless Ministers are able honestly to affirm that the integrity of the Whito Australia policy will not be upset at Geneva, ft delegation should be dispatched to Geneva to tirgo tho claims of the policy.— Press Assn. .
