Visit to Canberra

Sir Hubert Murray. Lieut.-Gov

ernor of Papua, accompanied by Lady Murray, arrived in Sydney by the Macdhui early in January. His Excel lency spent only a few days in Syd ney—he proceeded at once to Canberra to deal with a large mass of official business.

A matter which is giving the Lieut.- Governor much concern is a move to abolish the Australian duties on raw rubber. The position is dealt with elsewhere in this issue.

Sir Hubert Murray is not making a long stay in Australia, nor is he taking any leave on this occasion. He is re turning to Papua by the Montoro, sailing on February 4.

Sir Hubert and Lady Murray, while at Canberra, were entertained by the Governor-General, Sir Isaac Isaacs, and Lady Isaacs.
