WHEN Mr. J. F. Nicol, Acting High Commissioner for the Western Pacific, visited New Georgia, BSI, recently, he made a short speech to the natives assembled at Hombu Hombu, the Government station.

Shown in the picture are Mr. Nicol; native interpreter; Major Clemens, MC (District Officer); Major Wilson (Acting Resident Commissioner); and Captain Cameron, AIF.

A remarkable story about 1942 conditions in the Solomons, in which Major Clemens is conspicuous, is published on page 17 of this issue. —Photo by Bob Wright.
