Australia Is to Great Britain the
most valuable Of all her colonies
writes Hugh M. Lusk In the North

huence of Australia in the south Paci'

will have the least doubt that she Will
find means ere long to use that inf1u-
ence for purposes beneficial to herself.
Her people were far from pleased
with what was done in the case OF Sa-
moa; and it is safe to say that no
such policy Of concession Will ever
command the assent Of united Austria
liza. The sphere OF her first interests
WILL for the present, be confined main
ly to The Pacific and Indian oceans TO
tho south of the equator. She will be
interested in the Loyalty group, where
France is established, and in the New
Hebrides, where she is very anxious to
establish herself. She will be solicit
Gus about the Solomon islands, part
Of which are at present recognized as
German territory. and she will take
very deep interest in the future of New
Guinea, part of which belongs to Ger
many. and the rest, beyond the British
section, is understood to form part OF
Hollands great but little used estate
in the eastern archipelago. These will
undoubtedly be Australia's first cares.
but she vii not be content with these
for very long. Siam, French and SOUTH
ern Chiua and Borneo are natural
marts fer her trade, which in the next
ten years will be rapidly increasing
