will see this great group Of colonies

Like your country Australia

desire to be supreme in the pacific,
which cannot be gratified unless her
government possesses means of ruling
dependencies not admitted to political
equality. New Guinea alone is king
dom in area. and rightfully belongs to
Australia. AS an independent repub-
lie, Australia Will be a mighty mari
time power. She is to settle and gov
