BRITAIN AND FRANCE.
THE NEW HEBRIDES AGREEMENT.
Received March 5, 9.12 a.m. SYDNEY, March 5
Commenting on the New Hebrides agreement the Sydney Daily Telegraph aays:—-Any hopes that may have been raised in Australia of a definite solution ol' the Now Hebrides problem by the Auglo-French Conference are dissipated by the announcement that the dual control is to be continued. It will profoundly disappoint all those who recognise that this plan of government has invariably been a failure whenever and wherever applied. That the new agreement is likely to result in an improvement upon existing conditions may be conceded, but that it affords a solution satisfactory to Australia must be energetically contested."
The Sydney Morning Herald says: —The agreement is in the spirit of a larger national convention between the two Powers, but it might have proved satisfactory locally if Australian opinion had been given a chance to expes3 itself.
