Mr. Arthur Ethell, a former public ser vant in New Guinea, returned to the Territory in September, to take over management of the Bubuleta Nabene and Hihila Estates plantations, at Milne Bay.
Mr. Ethell took with him a 35-foot Raised Deck motor boat, which he will use to carry copra from his plantations; and with him were his crew members (Arthur McDonald, John Struthers and coloured boy Sam Bowden). Whilst in Cairns, Mr. Ethell lectured at the Rotary Club, on the present administration of the Ter ritories and he compared it—unfavourably —with the pre-war administration.
