New Guinea And

Future May be Discussed at PTA Meeting

IT is expected that a proposal of a somewhat startling character, which may result in a movement for chal lenging Australia’s title to the Pacific Territories of Papua and New Guinea, will be placed before the annual general meeting of members of the Pacific Ter ritories Association, which will be held in Sydney on June 27.

The executive committee probably will oppose the proposal, which is being advanced by a section of the members.

The business may be of international importance, and the executive has urgently requested the attendance of all available members.
