Fis reported—but not officially con -■ firmed—that the controlling interest in A. C. Smythe & Co., Apia, Western Samoa, has been bought by a big firm operating in the principal Polynesian Territories. It was reported at first that there had been a sale to O. F. Nelson & Co.. Ltd., but this was later contradicted.
Mr. Bill Clark has taken charge of Smythes, and Mr. and Mrs. Smythe are now enjoying a holiday in Savaii.
It is reported that Mr. A. E. Moore, who was BP manager at Port Moresby before the war, has taken charge of the BP establishment at Apia, in succession to the late Mr. Roy Brown.
