Press Association.— Telegraph.— Copyright. Received February 3, 12.30 a.m. SYDNEY, February 2.. • Mr Wade is of opinion that some protest should be made against the proposal of the Imperial Party in Germany to send convicts to their Pacific possessions. MELBOURNE, February 2. Mr Deakin, in an interview on the German convict proposal, said one does not comment ' on the proposal made to a foreign Parliament, because comment at this stage might be an intrusion. All they will say is that the German Reichstag is certain to consider such influence upon its own tropic possessions of the influx of such • a class of settlers. We could not witness such a departure without regret for their settlements on I;he Pacific, and with.out some apprehension for our own.
