Mission Has "Alderman"

Trouble

FROM the “Methodist Missionary Review” of January;— “In Papua much of our plant and equipment has been impressed by the defence authorities, and an effort has been made —unsuccessfully—to have the valuation increased.

“However, there is reasonable hope that after the military evacuation of our area, the authorities will deal generously with the mission, “So far as can be learned, the authori ties in Papua have not paid any rent for the use of buildings and though our boats and launches have all been taken no particulars have been received. The general secretary has asked Rev. H. K.

Bartlett to inquire into these matters, so that our interests might be safeguarded as far as possible.”
