CONTROL 01- WESTERN PACIFIC. (By Telegraph—Press Association.! Duncdin, January 21. Speaking to a "Times" interviewer to- s night, the Hon. B. L. Batchelor, Minis- i ter for External Affairs ot the Commonwealth, said the argument in favour of removing the High Commissioner ot the "Western Pacific to Sydney was that the • Commissioner, to reach some -parts-undor his jurisdiction,- has to travel to Sydney and'then back. By having the headquarters in Sydney, more direct control could be exercised. Tho decision, how- . ever, lay with tho Imperial authorities, but all tho interests concerned were Australia!) As to whether-Australia would make any strong representations he could: not say, not-, having consulted Cabinet, but undoubtedly Sydney was the better centre. Ho could not sea why there should be any conflict between 1 Aus■tralia and New Zealand over tho. pro< posed removal, as the interests were a> , Australian. ■ ' ■
