TASMAN OR ANZAC?
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Press Association. SYDNEY, August 22. (Received August 22, at 11.5 a.ra.) Mr Justice Chapman, of Wellington, writing to the Sydney ‘Morning Herald,’ congratulates Mr Hughes for discouraging the attempt to exchange the name of the Tasman Sea to “Anzac." He quotes historical facts in favor of retaining the name Tasman, and suggests other and more appropriate ways for perpetuating tho deeds at Anzac Cove. Mr Justice Chapman concludes; “Surely tho name Tasman Sea, deliberately given on the recommendation of these young nations, is a titling monument for the British nation to have in this way erected to one of the greatest seamen of our ancient ally, and surely it would ho an exhibition of something worse than bad taste now to attempt to pull it down.”
