NEW HEBRIDES CONVENTION.
MR. DEAKIN'S ATTITUDE
CRITICISED.
By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright
- Sidney, May 8. ' The Daily Telegraph says that Mr. Dcakin in declining to allow the New Zealand representative : to act for Australia on the New Hebrides commission seems to give ' the impression that he has a desire to do • as much as possible to discredit the British Liberal Government. Possibly also the refusal . is partly dictated by resentment at Mr. Asquith's frustration of his ; advocacy of preferential trade. After referring to the Commonwealth's attitude in regard to the New Hebrides question it adds "When, therefore, Mr. Deakin professes concern in regard' to the Now Hebrides, he does so largely under a pretence,- which is tho more notieeabb by comparison with Sir Joseph Ward's acceptance of the Convention, because New Zealand has always been ready to practise what it preaches to the extent of encouraging Island 'settlement and trade."
