RENAMING THE TASMAN.
MR. JUSTICE CHAPMAN'S VIEW WORSE THAN BAD TASTE. A. and N.Z- SYDNEY. Aug. 22. Mr. Justice Chapman, of Wellington, writing to the Sydney Morning Herald, congratulates Mr. W. M. Hughes for discouraging the attempt to exchange the name Tasman Sea for Anzac Sea. He quotes historical facts in favour of retaining the name Tasman, and suggests other and more appropriate ways for per-" petuating the deeds at Anzac Cove. He concludes: "Surely the name Tasman Sea, deliberately given on the recommendation of these young nations, is a fitting monument for the British nation to have in thiii way erected to one of the greatest seamen of our ancient Ally, and surely it would be an exhibition of something worse than bad taste now to attempt to pull it down."
