Luft I, on the Baltic? All of the above were Papuan-born and bred.

It was quite a large party who “left”

Papua, Mr. Bryson. Some of us survived, and finished up 150 miles from the Arctic circle, in Norway, when Germany cried “Kaput.” A nice, safe funk-hole from the Jans, Mr. Bryson!

When it was all over, and we came home, we found only two Fascist States left on this globe Franco-Spain and Ward’s External Territories. So the weaker-hearted of us fled the hell out of it again—not from the Japs, this time, but from Ward and the likes of you, Mr.

Bryson.

I am, etc.

Editorial Note

OUR correspondent, being afar off, evidently is not aware that the loquacious Mr. Bryson—who could never be described as anything but a political accident, anyway—was rejected by the Australian electors on September 28, and in October was running around looking for a job. In November, he was accommodated, and became a secretary to a Minister. How these rejected Labour politicians hate the hard work from which they escaped into Parliament!

Six lost their seats in September—and five have been provided since with “soft”

Government billets.

The new Director of Education for Fiji, Mr. Howard Hayden, accompanied by his wife and daughter, arrived in Suva by air on December 13.
