Australia

rnHE Governor of Fiji and High Com- X missioner for the Western Pacific, Sir Alexander Grantham, accom panied by Lady Grantham, paid a brief visit to Australia in October. He attended to a number of matters which required adjustment, as between the British Western Pacific Territories and the Australian Territories.

Plans had been made by Pacific Islands interests in Sydney to entertain Sir Alexander and Lady Grantham at luncheon, during their visit. But their short stay was attended by far-reaching industrial disturbances, and the “Bun nerong black-out” occurred almost im mediately after their arrival, making luncheon arrangements impossible. The function, therefore, was abandoned.
