If You Wish to Lecture Trainee Officers of the New Guinea Administration.
IN the House of Representatives in Canberra, on March 22, Mr. White asked the Minister for External Territories, Mr. Ward, upon notice: Will provision be made in the proposed school for the training of officers of the New Guinea service for the trainees to receive a proper presentation of the case of those pioneers of the Territories and others who believe that the Government’s policy of indentured labour and other matters may prove detrimental to the best interests of New Guinea and of the Common wealth?
Mr. Ward replied: “The curriculum at the school will include lectures by com petent persons on all phases of adminis tration and activities in the Territories of Papua and New Guinea. Any person who wishes an opportunity to deliver a lecture to the students at the school could communicate with my Depart ment, and the request would be con sidered.”
