AUSTRALIAN MANDATES
NAVIGATION ACT AND TRADE. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Press Association. MELBOURNE, July 28. The Royal Commission which inquired into the Navigation Act has presented its report to the Government. The report states that the application of the Act to New Guinea and Papua imposes a disability in the way of increased freights, and tends to retard their progress. The minority report states that the application of the Act to mandated territories is more a matter of strategy than money, and adds that for grave national reasons Australia cannot allow the trade ot the islands to pass into foreign hands.
