He estimates the cost at from £250,000 to £300,000. The expenditure should lie regarded as an insurance, since the group in its present condition constitutes a positive menace to Australia. Japanese and Tonquinese are pouring into New Caledonia, whence they could easily go to the New Hebrides. He suggests that Australia and New Zealand should combine in the acquisition of the group.
