BRITAIN IN THE PACIFIC.

RELATIONS WITH FRANCE. REARRANGEMENTS SUGGESTED (Received 8 a.m.) LONDON, December 1. An article published in the "Morning Post" says the announcement that the Foreign Office is discussing the rectification of boundaries in Africa with France suggests the desirableness of including the Pacific Ocean in the scope of friendly rearrangements. Britain is risking th« chance of being placed in an awkward position in the New Hebrides by some action on the part of the Commonwealth which would lack the tolerance necessary to negotiations with foreign Powers. The article suggests a conference upon the Pacific with France, in which Australia and New Zealand would be represented.
