“WHITE AUSTRALIA.”
SIR F. SWETTENHAM IN REPLY. LONDON, March 6. Sir Frank Sweetenham, ex-Gover-nor of the Straits Settlements, in a letter to the “Times” replying to Mr Copeland’s condemnation of his previous statement, says:—“My statement regarding the aborigines of Australia is a matter of common knowledge, which I never before heard questioned. They have not migrated but have unaccountably disappeared, very fe\y being left.” Respecting the charge that Australians would not allow shipwrecked Malays to land, he says he relied upon the statement of the captain of the recently wrecked steamer Petriana.
