The Australian Government
From Our Own Correspondent LAE.. November 3.
WHILE in Lae in early November, the Administrator of Papua-New Guinea, Colonel J. K. Murray, was the guest of the mess of Guinea Air Traders. Thus an excellent opportunity was given some residents of the town to meet the Ad ministrator informally.
In an after-dinner speech, Colonel Murray paid tribute to the pioneer air men of New Guinea and their extra ordinary achievements.
When asked if there were any truth in the current rumour that the Australian Government, in the shape of Qantas Em pire Airways, intended to take over all internal airlines in Papua-New Guinea, Colonel Murray said that he had not heard of it nor did he believe that such a course was contemplated by the Gov ernment.
