THE NEW HEBRIDES.
FRENCH EXPLOITATION. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright J tUnited Press Association.] (Received 10.50 a.m.) Sydney, January 3. Replying to criticism deprecating the action of missionaries in dwelling on the fact that New Hebrides offenders are French, Mr McGowan said that there was nothing against the French, as French. There were British law-breakers as well as French, but the vast number of the French was what made the situation grave. It was apparent that connivance existed. It was a deplorable state of affairs by the French administration. On British plantations fair conditions of life generally . were maintained. The French, on the contrary, furnish examples of exploitations which could only be called slavery.
