OFFICIAL NEGLECT.
PLIGHT OF ABORIGINALS
(ReceKed 9.30 a.m.) LONDON, November 25. "The Times," in commenting on a special article it publishes about the plight of Australian aborigines, says the immediate cause of a deplorable state of affairs has been lack of both trained administrators and funds. The paper states that Professor Wood-Jones ascribed the ultimate cause to official and popular indifference and says his address to the Victorian Anthropological Society was a scathing indictment of official neglect. "The Times" reviews recent measures of reform and concludes with the hope that the Australian Governments and people will support a more constructive native policy than that of laissez faire.
