BRITISH POLICY IN THE PACIFIC.
CABLE NEWS.
United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright,
CRITICISM BY THE "STANDARD." "A PAINFUL RECORD." Received April 6, 8.4 a.m. LONDON, April 5. The "Standard," commenting on a pamphlet embodying a series of articles published by the "Sydney Morning Herald, "at the end of last year, dealing with British policy in the Pacific, says:—"lt is a painful record of Colonial Office mismanagement and Imperial neglect. AH talk about Empira during the last two decades has left Downing Street nearly untouched. The Australian grievances are actual. Other nations associate themselves with merchants' and settlers' enterprises, but Britain i leaves the merchants to fight their own battles." The "Standard" cites the history of the Marshall Islands and the New | Hebrides, but does not attribute the I responsibility wholly to the laxity and indolence of the departments. It blames Parliament and the electorates for being absorbed in party conflicts and parochial cares.
