ACTIVITY Of FRANCE IN SOUTH ST
alarms Resident OF BRITISH IS

Frances steady and aggressive po-
licy Of expansion in the South Seas
has extended to the New Hebrides, &C
cording to news that has reached here
from several sources.
A month ago the Star-Bulletin pub
lished an account of the arrival here
of DR. Victor Brochard, who had been
instrumental in the annexation OF
Wallis Island to the French posses
sions The account told of the acti
witty of the French warship Kersaint.
The same vessel figures in recent
New Hebrides history. According TO
story published in England and evil
IDENTIFY emanating from the New He
brides by way of Australia. Grave ap-
prehensions have been excited by the
publication of a recent speech in the
New Hebrides by the French resident,
NJ Repiquet, in which he points out
the serious faults and dsqueting con-
sequences of the political regime
which is prejudicial TO the progress
OF colonization in this group Of is
lands which you have peacefully con
quered." He added I'm conjunction
with the commander Of the warshlp
Kersaint, | have harassed justly and
with exceeding sharpness the adver-
saries of our influence"
Taken in ConneXion with the recent
arrest made by the Kersaint and the
startling and much-challenged pro
Ceedings of the joint naval commits
sion, this utterance deeply disturbs
Australian feeling.
The London Times contains good
deal of news on the subject. 1t says:
Sir Edward Grey's declaration in
the House Of Commons yesterday
with regard to the New Hebrides has
already much relieved the anxieyt Of
those interested in the group, and has
damped down the agitation. It is IN,
derstood that Mr.. Glynn, minister for
external affairs, has fully represented
the case for Australia to the Colonial
office. and confidence in him as wide
spread.
The AngIo-French Convention.
Sir Edward Grey. in reply 10 a
question in the House of Commons on
Tuesday. stated that while there is no
question of Cpding the New Hebride5
the question Of the steps to be taken
for the improvement OF the COndOmi
ninium administration is receiving the
earnest consideration both OF the Rrlt.
ISL and French governments. The for
cign secretary added that at this stage
he could nor UsefulIy make any fuller
statement In these circumstances the
language OF the French resident, if h."
