WHITES OR BLACKS?
PROBLEM IN AUSTRALIA. < A REPLY TO CRITICISM. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.— Copyright. Received March 10, 5.5 p.m. London, March 9. Sir Joseph Cook (High Commissioner for Australia), replying to an interview •with Mr. Barwell in the Fmamcal Mews, combats Mr. Barwell’s statement, firstly that ten years’ experience has • proved that whites cannot work and flourish in tropical Australia, and secondly that sixty years’ of attempts to open up the Northern territory by whites reunited in under four thousand settlers. Sir Jweph Cook points out that settlement naturally developed in non-tropical districts and Queensland sugar industry would be greatly more productive with whites than with blacks. The Northern Territory was backward because railways are not provided either by South Australia or by the Government, for the reasons that neither the money nor the time i« available while non-tropica. I parts are demanding development— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
