DUTCH TREAT. Stuart Cloete, in

tells of an early counting custom that
ranks with our own Colonial bund-

South Africa, suitors could visit with
their girls only as long as one pre-

Australian Protests
Stettinius Statements
BY the Associated Press.


CANBERRA, Mar. 17.-William
Morris Hughes, veteran member OF
the Australian Parliament, issued a
statement last night asserting that
statements of Secretary of State
Stettinius and others preliminary to
the San Francisco Conference are
calculated to seriously disturb Aus
tralians.
Mr.. Hughes, Australian premier
during the World War and member
of every Parliament since the fed
Grafton of Australian States 40 years
ago, took exception to proposals by
Mr.. Stettinius and others for in
ternational trusteeship of dependent
areas to replace the League of Ma
tions mandates.
1t might be, Mr. Hughes con-
ceded, the intent to limit the pro-
posal to islands covered by the
japanese mandates. However, he
added, press statements do not sug-
gest this limitation but imply that
international trusteeship should re-
place Australian control OF man
dated New Guinea.
Australian soldiers are not fight
ing to hand over New Guinea to
some international trusteeship, but
to retain 1t for the Australian COM
monwealth, he asserted.
After the 1918 armistice, Mr.
Hughes clashed frequently with
President Wilson and French Pre-
mier Georges Clemenceau.
