THE PACIFIC ISLANDS.
AUSTRALIA'S MANDATE Sydney, May 21The Herald, in a leader urging the necessity, in view of the mandate she is receiving over the Pacific Islands, of Australia widening her vision and adopting a more settled, policy and a more systematic attempt to solve the •problems of her widened sphere, raises the question of the unsatisfactory condominium in the New Hebrides. The Herald says that Australia can offer strong arguments in favor of the dissolution of the condominium, but the weak part of the case is that, while pointing the course, Bhe shows too great a disposition to leave paying the piper to someone else. Probably the condominium could be ended by cessions in equatorial Africa or the payment of a few million pounds, but, until Australia, shows a disposition to incur her part of the obligation can she wonder that her appeal lacks force?
