巴布亚的殖民地，就在它的南面，越过一条任意划定的界线。巴布亚政府对土著人的人道待遇和对土著人权利的开明关怀，以及后德属新几内亚的政策，主要强调欧洲私人企业的利益和“经济发展”，以廉价的本地劳动力为主要手段，这些方面的差异尤其显著。人们习惯将这种差异完全归因于德国政权的无情政策和做法，而澳大利亚政府只是在接手时继承了这些政策和做法。实际上，在澳大利亚，人们对1914年之前德国的政策和趋势知之甚少；而且，无论如何，总是可以提出这样的问题：德国的先例——即使它是所有应该有的先例——为什么和如何会使澳大利亚承担责任，特别是当它在自己的巴布亚有一个如此不同的先例时。
tralia's colony of Papua, just to the south, across an arbitrary line. The differences were especially notable in reference to the humane treatment of natives and an enlightened concern for their rights, characteristic of Papuan administration, and the policy in post-German New Guinea of giving primary emphasis to the interests of European private enterprise and "economic development," with cheap native labor the principal means. It has been customary to attribute the differences entirely to the ruthless policies and practices of the German regime, which the Australian administration merely inherited when they took over. Actually, little has been generally known in Australia about German policies and trends prior to 1914; and, in any event, the question could always be asked why and how German precedent—even if it were all that was supposed—should have committed Australia, especially when she had so different a precedent in her own Papua.
