New Guinea?
BEFORE the Commonwealth Parlia ment went into recess in June, Mr.
White (Lib. Vic.) renewed his re quest that a party of Members, includ ing some from the Opposition, should visit Papua-New Guinea to inquire into the “inadequacy of« the present Adminis tration there and its failure to maintain production and plan for economic de velopment.” Mr. White said that he would be glad to make one of the party.
The Acting Minister for External Ter ritories said that “the suggestion would be examined.”
Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Gover, parents of Mrs Phyllis L. Keenan, wife of popular ADO Jack Keenan, Finschhafen, returned to Australia recently, after making their second visit to New Guinea within a few months. They were high in their praises of the beauties of Finschhafen and hope to return again soon.
