Improves
From Our Own Correspondent
Port Moresby, Feb. 12.
Sir Hubert Murray (Lieut.-Gover nor) on his return to Port Moresby from Canberra has given us the wel come news that Australia will continue to give preference to Papuan rubber for at least another year. In the meantime, it is hoped that the rubber market will improve.
This news, together with the subs tantial rise in copra prices, has given new heart to our primary producers, and may put an end to the stringent conditions under which we have been living for the last nine months.
