Apia, Feb. 11.

THE Crown Prince of Tonga, Tuboutoa, who has been a student at Sydney University for the past two years, nassed through here on the “Matua” to day He is on his way to England, where he will study law, for the next two years.

There is another report, to the effect that the Crown Prince will resume his studies at the Sydney University, where he has been an Arts student for two years.

THE names, of half the leading men in New Guinea have been sent in to the Administrator, as suggested ap pointees to the Legislative Council vacancy (see page 47). The Morobe com munity insists that it should have an other representative, to assist Mr. Nor man Neal: and “round robins” will as sist the nominations of H. T. Allan, C.

C Judd, and other goldfields men. New Guinea hopes that this may be the first step in the introduction of more repres entative government. Mr. Ollerenshaw, in the Legislative Council in March, refer red to the speech made by Sir Charles Marr six years ago, when opening the new Council. Sir Charles then expressed the belief that the nominative system would in due course give place to an elective system. Mr. Ollerenshaw con

tended that the time now is ripe to in troduce a system of appointing non-offi cial members to the Council by public election.

This system is followed in other simi lar territories—Western Samoa, for ex ample.
