Interest-Free Loans
THE Government of the British Solo mons has decided to assist planters to rehabilitate their neglected or war-damaged plantations by providing them with interest-free loans.

Repayment will commence six months after receipt of final instalment, and will also be on a quarterly basis. The period of repayment is not made clear.
Copies of the loan agreement, which includes comprehensive security pro visions may be obtained from the Resi dent Commissioner’s Office, British Solo mon Islands; or from the Protectorate’s agents in Sydney—Burns, Philp and Co., Ltd., of 7 Bridge Street.
Mr. R. B. Dunlop has been appointed Inspector of Mines in Papua-New Guinea.
