Now No German Spies

In Papua

THE Australian Minister for Territories (Mr, T. J. Collins) told the Mel bourne “Herald” on May 8 that Ger man influence among the natives of Papua had been wiped out. He said that there had been German spies in Papua at the outbreak of war, but that now they were all under control. Most of us knew that there were people of suspicious associations in New Guinea at the outbreak of war, but it will be news to many to learn that Nazi activity had extended into Papua.

Mr. Malcolm Cameron, of Wau, New Guinea, has been in Australia for several weeks. He is connected with Gold and Power Ltd., Slate Creek, and will return to the Territory shortly.
