Mismanagement New
Guinea is Charged

SIDNEY, N. S. W., Dec. 6-(Asso-
ciated Press MaiD-Charges of mis-
management and incapacity were
made against the Australian authori-
ties, in connection with the admins
tration of the inundated territory of
New Guinea, by Australian business
men who returned from the territory.
A chaotic state of affairs exists
and the moral tone has become ex-
ceedingly low" the party said, lie
Maistre Walker, Sydney accountant,
said that at Rabaul he had seer sights
that "~disgusted" him; the place was
full of Incompetent officials and the
lives they lead are rendering them
unfit for any occupation"
Unless Australia can handle the
place better she had best hand it
back 20 the Germans" he declared,
The Germans had attained a state of
efficiency, but we have failed lamen-
tably. Under the Germans, the ma
tives were industrious, obedient and
happy. Now they are indolent, eva
slve and %thieving. We must do some
thing or we shall see there some ex-
amples of the form of slavery. The
remedy is to send the right kind of
officials there"
Further allegations from an official
source in Rabault- are the effect that
1T takes three Australians to do the
work of n German, mainly because
men with a real and conscientious in
terest for the national good have not
been sent there. The staff could be
reduced by one-third with greater
efficiency resulting. The territory is
slipping and it will take many months
to pull up what has been lost in the
last few months"
Prime Minister Hughes admitted,
when the matter came up in parlia-
ment, that the natives were out of
hand" Senator Lynch introduced a
resolution suggesting that the United
States be asked to take over the man
date territories held by Australia.
Senator Millen on behalf of the gov
eminent, replied that the mandates
could only be given up to the League
of Nations and that if this were done,
Germany and possibly Japan would
ask for the islands, Senator Lynch
then withdrew his resolution.

daily newspaper published by the
British army on the Rhine, "a Stu
dent of Germany" says that, as the
bulk of Germany's old navy lies at
the bottom of Scapa Flow, it is not
naval disarmament in which Ger
many today has the primary interest.
He adds:
Germany is much more concerned
with military, or land disarmament,
and there are sections of opinion in
Germany which awaited any military
disarmament proposals from Washing
ton with almost feverish anticipa-
ton"
The writer refers to Germany's
army of 100000 as provided by the
Treaty of Versailles as figures on
paper" contending that there are Sc
cret military organizations through
out the country. "The Tyrol today is
a center of military intrigue" he says
Bavaria seethes with it,"
The writer, however, sees a glim-
mer of hope in his assumption that
Germany Cor some of herr has
shown some signs of turning over a
new leaf Vast sections of the COM
munity and most of her present lead
ers would not lead her into war. The
Socialists to a man would revolt, if
war were preached"
In conclusion, he says: Germany
looks to the Washington conference
with a heart full of hope.

Delay in Withdrawal
OF Troops May Prove
Test For Takahashi

TOKYO, Dec. 2-(Associated Press
MaiD-Well informed circles here re-
gard the question of withdrawing
Japanese troops from Siberia as the
test of strength of the Takahashi ad-
ministration, according to the Koku-
sal News agency.
Those who speak openly point out
that the decision to withdraw was an
nounced unoflicially, at least, and the
public was led to expect evacuation
in earnest by the middle of Novem-
Der. They said it is a question yer
which there is no. division of opinion
throughout the country or, in fact, in
the political parties. Ministerialists
and Opposition being agreed upon a
policy of immediate withdrawal. The
general public is sa to be increas-
ingly impatient of delay.
The general staff is accused openly
of waiting for some excuse to w
what they regard as IN ignoble re-
treat from a position the public re-
CARDS as a mistake that can only be
covered now by a frank admission,
which, especially at this time, would
be regarded as digniied and oppor-
tune.
The main body of the government
party fears that, in the present state
of public opinion, they will be left
without any good defense when the
opposition opens an attack in the
forthcoming session of the Diet. This
attack is regarded as inevitable and
it is believed that the opposition may
be in a position to win over sufficient
support to defeat the government on
a motion of lack of confidence or one
of censure, based upon the failure to
