Madang, Nov. 28.
THE recently formed Madang branch * of the Citizens’ Association of New Guinea is gradually getting into its stride as a working body, with a policy of moderation and co-operation with all sections of the community.
When the branch was formed there was comment in certain local quarters that the organisation appeared to have ex treme tendencies, with the object of re sisting vested authority. These fears have been dispelled by recent addresses by the President (Mr. C. Rouse). He emphatically declared that the Madang Association had been established “to foster and maintain co-operation with authorities on all matters, and that it would not adopt a bombastic attitude, with ridiculous and uncompromising re quests, which would only ferment bad feeling among citizens of the same com munity.”
