NEW HEBRIDES CONTROL.
AUSTRALIAN CLAIM STATED.
NEED FOR WIDER OUTLOOK.
A. and N Z.
SYDNEY, May 21,
The Sydney Morning Herald, in a leading article, urging the necessity, in view of the mandate she Is receiving over the Pacific Islands, of Australia widening her vision and adopting a more settled po'iey and a more systematic attempt to solve the problems of her widened sphere, raifes the question of the unsatisfactory condominium in the New Hebrides. It says that- Australia can offer strong arguments in favour of the dissolution of the condominium, but the weak part of the case is that while pointing a course she shows too great a disposition to leave paying the piper to someone else.
Probably the condominium could be ended by cessions in equatorial Africa or tho payment of a few million pounds, but until Australia shows a disposition to incur her part of the obligation, can she wonder that her appeal lacks force?
