From Our Own Correspondent WAU, Dec. 20.
PON completion of his last walk over the shortest route proposed for the New Guinea Goldfields Road, between Wau and Salamaua, Mr.
Engineer Field (Director of Public Works), reported that there now are no insuperable engineering difficul ties in the way of the building of the road.
It is sincerely to be hoped that, after so many long years of procras tination, the advent of another war is not going to provide the Adminis tration, or Canberra, with a last minute excuse for evading this con struction. The very fact of war makes this road more imperative, militarily, apart from what is econo mically more than over-due to the Goldfields.
