Visitors For New Guinea
THE Administrator of New Guinea (Brig.-General McNicoll), who is at present in Australia on furlough, has sug gested that the Governor-General (Lord Gowrie) and the Prime Minister (Mr.
Lyons) should pay an official visit to New Guinea, and see how Australia is carrying out her responsibilities as a Mandatory.
The suggestion has been received with interest, and is being considered.
It is too late, this year, to make the trip. Next year, Mr. Lyons must go to London, to the Coronation. But the Governor-General may pay New Guinea a visit.
Mr. M. L. Bernacchi, who has been appointed a Cadet in the Fiji Civil Service, arrived in the Colony by the Port Fairy on August 19.
Captain E. A. Barnett, Deputy Inspector General of Constabulary in Fiji, accom panied by Mrs. Barnett and family, re turned to the Colony from long leave in England by the Port Fairy on August 19.
Captain Barnett is now acting as In spector General of Constabulary.
