THE PACIFIC ISLANDS

PROBLEMS OF ADMINISTRATION. A BISHOP’S SUGGESTIONS. By Telegraph— .Assn. —Copyright. (Received Juily 26, 8.10 p.m.) SYDNEY, July 26. Bisliop Radford, of Goulburn, lecturing before the Empire Literature Socieljy on the Pacific, urged the need for,a standing Pacific Conference of all the Pacific Power’s, or if something more definite and solid was wanted, a triple alliance of Britain, America and Japan. Dealing with problems of administration, Bishop Radford suggested an island federation which would include the three groups of islands in their present relations to Australia, New Zealand and Britain, and. yet weld them into unity of principle and policy under a Federal Council, on which the two daughter nations and the mother nation should all be represented. Ultimately doubtless the two daughter nations could be entrusted with the mother’s share of the trust. The one indisputable need of the situation was a closer mutual understanding between New Zealand and Australia. The need for closer unity of action and counsel was imperative.
