London, February IS, The Bight Hem, A, Lyttelton, in a letter to' the newspapers, declares that the attempt of Government in connection with the New Hebrides debate, to hide behind the cover of France’s responsibility, is not very brave, The colonies’ objections to the terms of the labor system were not mentioned to the French Government, London, February 18. The Westminster Gazette declares if Mr Churchill is correct that the repatriation clause is only compulsory on masters and not on natives, there is no analogy between the'arrangement in the New Hebrides ahd the Chinese Ordinances. It adds, “If this interpretation is wrong then revision is still possible.”
