NATIVE RACES
AUSTRALIA AS TRUSTEE. CHRISTIAN CHARTER ADOPTED BY CONFERENCE. SYDNEY, December 19. Australia’s duty as a trustee for the native races in the Pacific was emphasised in resolutions carried by a conference of Anglican archbishops and bishops in Melbourne. The conference adopted a Christian Charter for native peoples drafted by the professor of anthropology at Sydney University, Professor Elkin. The conference affirmed its “conviction that after the war both the Government and the nation would be in honour bound to accept the principle of trusteeship for the native and indigenous races, and to apply to them the principles of the Allanitc Charter, protecting both them and their lands from exploitation by economic and commercial interests, and assisting them to develop both themselves and their lands in their own'interests.”
