ASIATIC MENACE.

' "WHITE AUSTRALIA"

A NEWSPAPER'S WARNING.

(Ber. Press- Association Copyright.)' (Received August 11, 9.15 a.m.) SYDNEY,, August 11. The "Sun" newspaper article on the* "White Australia". policy states thlfc question whether the principle of. tine' policy of a "White Australia" is in* jeopardy must finally be answered by the end of the, year at a- conference in. Geneva, when the Australian mandate > in the ißacific. is promulgated. The paper states that secret. diplomr acy still precludes the public fromi knowing all that happens bet/ween.- the ■ Chancelleries, but there is the verybest reason for stating that Japani very decidedly upon several occasions' endeavoured to render a "White > Australia" policy abortive, and' that she will^ undoubtedly attempt to destroy- it-* again at Geneva, where- the policy may be canvassed'in a far..more detached* academic spirit' There' will 1 be "a greater number of ' delegates - with a greaternumber of votes which may* swing for or "against Australia, and 1 once-a decision is reached 1 Australia miist eithersubmit or break away from 'the League' of Nations. 1 The "Sun" states that unless tHeMinisters are able to honestly affirm the integrity, of a,"White Australia,"" the policy will not be upsef at Geneva. The delegation" slhould be' despatched' to Geneva' 'to' urge the claims of a--"White Australia" policy.
