Some Late Models Arrive in Rabaul

From Our Own Correspondent

Rabaul. Dee. 1.

AT left, recorded by the camera of C. H. Meen, in Rabaul, is what is believed to be an interesting result of the far-reaching disturbances in China. It is reported that many wealthy Chinese are leaving the country, and their cars—usually very fine machines— are being sold. When the Citos arrived in Rabaul recently she unloaded seven American cars from China —two of them Chevrolet De Luxe 1949 models. These cars have been bought by members of the New Guinea Chinese community—and more are expected in the near future.
