Praise For N.G. Service.

In an address at a Sydney club during July, Major C. W. C. Marr (Minister in charge of Islands Territories), emphasised that New Guinea had be come a most valuable part of the nation. The New Guinea Public Ser vice, he said, from the Administrator to the most humble junior, was one of the finest in the world, and the equal of any other colonial service.

He added that probably only world war could take away New Guinea from Australia.
