The German Consul-General does not attach much importance to the suggestion to establish a penal settlement in the Pacific. The party agitating for its establishment is a small one, and clause 5 of the reciprocity agreement between Germany and England, made in 1886, concernmar the freedom of trade in German and British possessions, says that both Governments engage no); to establish any penal -lettl^ment in. or transport convicts to the Western Pacific.
