Guinea
IT was formally announced in Canberra on November 25 that the New Guinea Administration had “decided to adopt air transport on a permanent and ex tensive scale for the conveyance of ad ministration officers, mails and goods between various parts of the Territory”; and tenders were invited the following day for the conveyance of passengers, mails and goods by air between the Morobe towns and Madang and the Sepik for a period of two years, and be tween the Morobe towns and Port Moresby for a period of one year from March 1, 1939.
Such services have been carried on under contract for the administration for several years past; but Canberra and the Australian newspapers seem to think that there was something new about the arrangement.
