Winding Up Of Pcb
p. 10 · Read in the full issue
SINCE the Ministerial announcement in July that the New Guinea Produc tion Control Board would be wound up, nothing further has been heard on the subject in Sydney.
In that announcement it was stated that negotiations were proceeding with traders to obtain an orderly change-over of copra marketing under a system of export licences.
Sydney representatives of the firms trading in New Guinea knew nothing of these negotiations in mid-August. Neither was there any information forthcoming from the Sydney branch of the Depart ment of External Territories.
It is, however, expected that some further official statement will be made shortly.
