PLANS to produce peanuts and beef in New Guinea are included in the Overseas Resources Development Bill, which the Food Minister (Mr.

Strachey) explained in the House of Commons recently.

The New Guinea scheme will be con trolled by the Oversea Food Corporation, which will be established, with a capital of £5O million, to promote development schemes in the Dominions.

It mav have been “explained” in Lon don; but it is a complete mystery in non-official circles in Canberra and Sydney.
