THE Australian Government was con gratulated on September 25 by the leader of the Country Party (Mr.
Fadden) on its appointment of Colonel J. K. Murray as leader of the Provisional Papua-New Guinea Administration.
“This is a very happy appointment in deed,” he stated. “I say with all sincerity that Colonel Murray has all the quali fications necessary for this job. He has as a background a very fine career, and is principal of an agricultural college.
He has in his wife a very competent mate, who, I think, holds a diploma for agriculture, and is a Bachelor of Arts.
“Colonel Murray is a fearless but modest man. He will carry out the Government’s policy without fear or favour.” -
