GERMANY IN THE PACIFIC
AN AUSTRALIAN PROTEST
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. SYDNEY, August 4. (Received August 4, at 12.55 p.m.) The ' Herald' says that the suggested cession of Tahiti to Germany ought to call forth an. immediate protest from Australia and New Zealand. It is unfortunate that Mr Fisher and Sir J. G. Ward are absent from their respective countries. Joint representations should immediately be made, and in such form as will leave no possibility of mistake as to tho fooling in Australia on the matter. Any intrusion of Germany in the Pacific will be bitterly resented, because it would mean an ever-threaten-ing menace at our doors. The possession of a Pacific island is nothing to boast of, and those wantiug it can only desire it as a point of departure for a much more far-reaching attempt at aggression.
