ACTIONS AS ENEMY AGENTS IN NEW GUINEA. (Special Australian Correspondent.) SYDNEY, July 16. There was definite knowledge and not merely suspicion, that many Gfirman missionaries in New Guinea had indulged in anti-British activities, said General Sir Walter McNicoll, Administrator of New Guinea, today. When Australia regained possession of the territory from the Japanese hei first action should be to deport all foreign missionaries and replace them with British, he said. One in every 10 of the missionaries in New Guinea had been a German. The great bulk of the natives were friendly toward Australia and would continue to be so if they were not subject to foreign influences. .General McNicoll said he had frequently advocated the discontinuance of the New Guinea mandate and its incorporation with Papua as a dependency of Australia. It was of tremendous importance for the safety of Australia that New Guinea, Papua, the Solomons and the chain of islands adjoining Should not be permanently held by any foreign nation.
