I am strongly of opinion this claim should not be entertained at all -   The Pacific phosphates Co has benefited enormously by our action in removing all Germans from the place and instead of a claim being made against Australia the Company should be prepared to recompense Australia to the extent of 10 times the value of the claim now made for the enormous benefits it had received -

In considering this matter the information furnished in the despatch previously alluded to will I think be found of interest and assistance
