Noumea, Sept. 5.
MR. HENRY B. DAY, United States Consul in New Caledonia, has been recalled to Washington. The work of the Consulate will be continued by the Vice-consul, Mr. Edmond Barker, until Mr. Day’s successor arrives.
Mr. Day arrived in Noumea to succeed the first US Consul, Mr. Karl de G. Mac vittTr. on September 10, 1942. He had previously been Consul in Manila, Ade laide and Sydney.
Although his term here covered one of the most trying periods in the history of Franco-American relations, Mr. Day’s per sonal contacts with the French were always excellent. • Mr. H. (“Tex”) Archer, well known in northern New Guinea, is now on leave in Sydney, after a year in the north with the American Red Cross.
