MANDATE OF NEW GUINEA
AUSTRALIA’S SUCCESS “WONDERFUL WORK DONE” Criticism Of Mr Savage’s London Interview Press Association—Copyright. (Received 11.10 a,m.) Sydney, May 6. ‘‘Clearly, Mr Savage did not know what he was talking about,” declared Sir George Pearce, Minister of External Affairs, replying to Mr Savage’s' comment, cabled from London, on the Empire's administration of the German colonies. Sir George added, that as far as New Guinea was concerned, the Australian administration had always received a first-class pass from the Mandates Commission, who were experts, and well qualified to judge. Mr W. M. Hughes, recalling his Prime Ministership in 1019, when the mandate of New Guinea was taken over, said that wonderful work had been done there since then. The white population had increased by 500 per cent. In 1914, Germany had 200 soldiers there, Australia now had only one.
