PT. MORESBY, August 20.
THE Lieutenant-Governor (Sir Hubert Murray) has learned from brief press telegrams something of the con troversy between Mr. Jack Hides and Mr.
M. J. Leahy.
I asked Sir Hubert for a statement and he replied: “The argument is ridiculous.
There is no doubt that Mr. Leahy, in the
Mount Hagen region, met a people and a culture similar to the people and the culture found by Mr. Hides in his ex pedition; but Mr. Hides has traversed a completely new area.”
