Strike Holds Up the "Roll

"Roll of Honour"

Supplement of the "PIM"

WE regret that, owing to our printing operations being restricted by the widespread industrial disturbances in Australia, we are not able to issue, this month, the special “Roll of Honour”

Supplement which we had prepared for publication, in December.

This Supplement contains the names of the great majoritv of Pacific Islands resi dents who were killed, wounded or missing in World War II; the names of most of those who were decorated for distinguished service; and a list of the large number of civilians who were lost at Rabaul, and who now are presumed to be dead.

Lack of electrical power has made it very difficult to carry on printing opera tions. We have been able to produce this December issue of the “fTM” only by severely reducing the quantity of letterpress in the journal.

We shall issue the “Roll of Honour”

Supplement as soon as the wheels are turning freely again—in January, we hope.
