p. 54 · Read in the full issue

REPLYING recently to a question in the House the Minister of External Territories told Mr. White (Lib.

Vic.) that an application had been made by the Australian Institute of International Affairs for a permit to be issued to Dr.

W. E. H. Stanner to enable him to visit Papua-New Guinea.

The Institute, said the Minister, was not a Government organisation and therefore he had no knowledge as to the nature of Dr. Stanner’s inquiries.

Mr. R. A. Colyer, of the well-known New Guinea firm of Colyer, Watson Ltd., is at present on a business visit to the USA. He will return to Australia about the middle of May.
