Await Decision

From Our Own Correspondent.

Pt. Moresby, May 4.

THE decision of the Commonwealth Government about assistance to be given to rubber growers in Papua and New Guinea is still awaited with anxiety.

The matter has been shelved by Can berra lately, owing to the urgency of defence problems. To a recent enquiry by the Lieutenant-Governor of Papua (Sir Hubert Murray) a reply was re ceived during the last week in April that the question will be considered at an early date. The decision will then be communicated to the Territories as soon as possible.
