Rabaul, Feb. 4.
some time, the want has been felt by the planters in and around the
Rabaul district for some individual form of organisation where their interests are con cerned.
In the past, the Rabaul planters relied upon the Executive Council of the Plant ers’ Association of New Guinea to safe guard their interests; this, however, was not deemed satisfactory.
A branch has now been formed, with headquarters at Kokopo, and is known as the New Britain Planters’ Association. The following officers were elected at the meet ing held at the beginning of December: President, Mr. F. Cutler; vice-president, Mr. H. Rowe; secretary-treasurer, Mr. M.
D. Lees; committee, Messrs. J. Duncan, Pennefather, O. Rondahl and W. Rowe.
