THE NEW HEBRIDES.
j DUAL CONTROL CONDEMNED. I By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. | Brisbane, April 29. Captain Ashton, of the steamer Flinders, after a lengthy experience of trading with the New Hebrides, says that , the dual control is becoming more and more unsatisfactory. | The feeling prevailed, he said, among I the colonists that the sooner the islands I were taken over by Britain or France, '* the better it would be for all concerned. At the present time French traders had a great advantage over the British. The French authorities interpreted the laws more leniently with regard to their countrymen than the British did. The Frenfch authorities adhered to the Convention laws, but the British made extra laws under which British colonists worked. While the French were permitted to recruit women for labor, British traders could recruit only males.
