[Special to Melbourne "Age."] London, December 22.
Mr Murray Smith, Agent-General for Victoria, has made a formal protest to the Colonial Office against the annexation policy of Germany in the Pacific. Mr Herbert, the Permanent Undersecretary at the Colonial Office, asserts that Germany, in negotia-: tions with the British Government, pledged herself not to meddle with New Guinea. The "Times," this morning, referring to German annexation in the Pacific, states that the incapacity and ignorance of the Colonial Office are unlimited, and that the inheritance of the Australian colonies has been gambled away. The "Times" is also of opinion that the colonies will naturally resent what has taken place. The " Daily News " says that Holland is merely holding a portion of New Guinea as trustee for Germany.
