RE-NAMING TASMAN SEA
MR JUSTICE CHAPMAN'S PROTEST.
(United Press Association.) SYDNEY, August 22
Mr Justice Chapman, of Wellington, writing to the Sydney Herald, congratulates Mr Hughes for discouraging the attempt to exchange the name of Tasman to Anzac. He quotes the historical facts in favour of retaining the name Tasman, and suggests more appropriate ways for perpetuating the deeds of Anzac Cove. He concludes: "Surely the name Tasman Sea, deliberately given on the recommendation of these young nations, is a lilting monument for the British nation to have in this 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 to attempt to pull it down."
