New Guinea?
WHEN Mr. C. Munster, of Manus, New Guinea, arrived in Sydney with his wife and family on six months’ furlough at the end of January, he was inter viewed by reporters and made a state ment that was given a front-page posi tion in the newspapers.
Mr. Munster said: “Germany does not want New Guinea. She could do nothing with it because it is so far away. Its distance from Germany would make it very hard to defend.”
Mr. Munster became a naturalised British subject in 1904 and he has lived in Manus since 1912.
