Pacific Islands Society

A SUGGESTION that a Branch of the Pacific Islands Society be formed in Melbourne was made in Sydney recently by Major C. Buchanan, a veteran who spent 40 years in various Ter ritories of the South Pacific —mostly as an executive of Levers Pacific Plantations Ltd.

Mr. Buchanan told the President and Secretary of the Pacific Islands Society, Sydney, that there are a large number of people with Pacific Islands interests residing in and near Melbourne and he thought that it should not be difficult to establish, in the southern metropolis, an institution as good and interesting as the Society in Sydney. The suggestion is now under consideration.

Mr. Allen Clarke has been transferred from Madang, New Guinea, to Port Moresby, where he will be QIC Post and Telegraphs.
