JAPANESE AMBITIONS.

JHOW WILL PACIFIC FARE? JNEED FOR ANEARLY PLAN. PRELATE CONSIDERS WHITE AUSTRALIA ALREADY THREATENED. SUGGESTION TO TRADE PAPUA TO EUROPEAN POWER. {By Telegraph-Press Assn.-Copyright.) -' (Received This Day, 11.35 a.m.) BRISBANE, Tuesday. After referring to the defenceless of Australia, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Brisbane (Most, Rev. ' Dr. Duhig) suggested that Australia should seek help from some European -country in retaining the continent for the white race. For instance, Germany, might 'be allowed to have back her preWar territory in New Guinea, conditionally on contributing adequate ships | jand men to Australia's defence. ; "/If we cannot Hold Australia ourselves, then we must%et others to help us to do it, or be prepared to*3ose it," said His Grace, in speaking ait a Communion break:fa»fc * * Mr Justice Webb, who had spoken •earlier and compared the size of New -Zealand to the archdiocese of Bris■bane, had remarked facetiously that .all New Zealand could be put into the -archdiocese and there would still be .something left for Japan. This was a tilt at the Dean of Canterbury's re<cent suggestion to cede a portion of - .Northern .Australia to Japan. The Archbisjiop said, '"While not endorsing the Dean of Canterbury's plan, something must be -done, and quickly, .if we are to hold Australia for the " white race. The same treaty mightbe made with any other European Pow.er desiring possessions in the Pacific where the British Empire and the Com.monwealth should remain in supreme - -control."
