Special Ship in Papuan Ports
IN spite of wars and the qchoes of wars, and the manifest distrust of all British communities in the Central and South Pacific, the Japanese continue with their programme of commercial penetration—part of their campaign to secure economic domination of the Paci fic.
The Japanese vessel, “Tackachiho Mam”. arrived in Samarai from Rabaul on October 25, and left again on October 28. During that brief stay the repres entatives of the Japanese firm, Nanyo Boyeki Kaisha, made an elaborate and impressive display of Japanese goods in the billiard room of the Cosmopolitan Hotel, in Samarai. On the evening of the 27th, they entertained the residents of Samarai with moving pictures of Jap anese industries and tourist attractions.
The Japanese went on to Port Mores by and carried out practically the same programme there. They gave a free cinema entertainment, in the Institute Hall, in which they advertised Japanese industry.
