DETAILS OF THE UNDERSTANDING.
LONDON, March 3,
The New Hebrides agreement comprises fifty articles. Great Britain and France retain power over their own people, and the administrative rights of both are unchanged, and none are surrendered. There is no division of the islands, and neither Power assumes any independent control. The most important provision is the creation of courts with British and French judges, each administering his own country's legislation in the case of that country's subjects. A special tribunal, presided over by a third judge appointed by » friendly Power, will deal nith. land claims. This definition of judicial* rights ends the deadlock in connection with the punishment of offenders.
