AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINES.
DEPLORABLE PLIGHT. LONDON, Nov. 25. The Times, in a leader commenting on a special article it publishes- on the plight of the Australian aborigines, says the immediate cause of the deplorable state of affairs has been the lack of both trained administrators and funds. It adds that Professor Wood Jones ascribed the ultimate cause to official and popular indifference and declares that his address to the Victorian Anthropological Society was a scathing indictment of official neglect. It reviews recent measures, for reform and concludes with the hope that the Australian Governments and people will support a more constructive native policy than that of laissez faife. .
