Recognition!

RESIDENTS of New Guinea who ad mire the fine qualities of their late Administrator, Brigadier-General T. Grif fiths —and they comprise 99 per cent, of the residents —will be delighted to know that at long last the Commonwealth Gov ernment has given official recognition to the lifetime’s distinguished service ren dered to the Commonwealth by the Gen eral. Many people were disappointed because the General was not awarded at least a knighthood when he retired re cently.

The name of General Griffiths was in cluded (with about 5000 others!) in the lists of those who, during May, were awarded the King’s Jubilee Medal.
