AN AUSTRALIAN OPINION
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association) LONDON, Thursday. Sir Joseph Cook is not unhopeful that tiie ultimate results of the Peace Conference will be satisfactory to Australia. He confesses that he is no', enamoured of the policy of mandatories an the Pacific, but he believes that when finality is reached nothing unto wards will be decided as far as the Pae'lic is concerned. It is difficult to understand the practicability of the mandatories policy anywhere, but particularly iv the remote Pacific, inasmuch as the maudaterv power would presumably be subject to a League of Nations, whose ■constitution is unknown, powers oudefiftodj and policy unguessable. 'Anything short of direct control would be for Australia and Britain a leap in the dark.
