THE NEW HEBRIDES SETTLEMENT.
AUSTRALIAN DISAPPOINTMENT. United P«e« Asscciation—By Electric Telegraph—-Copyx^-t. SYDNEY, March 5. ;, The *'Daily v Telegraph" says that any hopes that may have been- raised in Australia of a definite solution of the New Hebrides problem by the AngloFrench Conference are dissipated by the announcement that the existing dual control is to be continued, which will profoundly disappoint all those who recognise that this plan of government has invariably been a failure whenever and wherever applied. That the new agreement is likely to result in improvement upon existing conditions may be oonceded, but that it affords a solution satisfactory to Australia must be energetically contested. The "Sydney Morning Herald" Bays that the agreement is in the spirit of tho larger national convention between the two Powers, but it might have proved satisfactory locally if Australian opinion had been given a chance to express itself.
