Sir Charles Lucas, in the course of a Times article on his impression of Australia and the war , says: “The Australians havo a very direct interest in the war in view of the German possessions and trade in the Pacific. They may well feel it is worth paying a large price to strengthen their own future position in the Pacific, which they rightly or wrongly considered has been insufficiently guarded, fn the early eighties, when Germany entered upon her colonial expansion, they did not notice any adverse comment on Britain’s employment of colored troops or Japan’s participation.”

(Received 1.5 p.m.)

Rome, October 20,
