something toward settling the con-

apropos of the Australian Whltc
policy" under which al colorcd races
are excluded except persons who
were domiciled here prior to the leg
islation, and few admitted uhder
special trade agreements.
Advocates of the introduction OF
cheap colorcd labor on an indenturc
system. or contracts for periods or
wears. have contended that northern
Australia, being tropical, afforded
climate for which white men were
constitutionally untitled. To exclude
races able to develop this territory
