NAURU MANDATE.
AUSTRA-N.Z. AGREEMENT STANDS.
"London. July 28. , Th© Australian and New Zealand Press Association has been authoritatively informed that newspaper cables from Australia imputing recalcitrancy by the British Government in reference to Nauru, resulting in a deadlock are wholly unfounded. It is also untrue that the agreement between Britain, Australia and New Zealand will expire in 1925. The agreement is perpetual, but the allocation of the output from Nauru is reviewabl© at five yearly periods, the first of which is in 1925. Mr Dickinson British Phosphate Commissioner, is of opinion that Britain cannot afford to surrender her rights under the agreement, because Nauru and Ocean Island possess the most valuable deposits in the Empire. The only reason Britain is not participating m th© output is because the North African product is cheaper owing to the exchange. Speaking with 20 years ’knowledge of the Nauru and Ocean deposits, he considered they are sufficient for 100 and N.Z.)
