General E. A. Wisdom

Return to Rabaul

The Administrator of the Mandated Territory of New Guinea, Brig.-Gen eral E. A. Wisdom, C.B., returned to his headquarters at Rabaul, by the Macdhui, leaving Sydney on January 14.

The Administrator came south some months ago, with Mrs. Wisdom, who was then seriously ill, and a report gained currency that he intended tak ing his wife to England and resigning his position in New Guinea which he has held successfully since 1921. Mrs.

Wisdom, unfortunately, succumbed to her illness a few weeks after arrival in Sydney.

General Wisdom spent some weeks in Melbourne and returned to Sydney after a visit to Canberra, where he discussed Departmental affairs with the Minister at present in charge, Major C. W. C. Marr.
