Higher Charge for PIM Outside

Of South Pacific

ALL costs of newspaper production have increased in a fantastic fashion dur ing the past year, and publishers generally have been compelled to increase their subscription and advertisement rates.

The publishers of this journal are not making any further increase in rates — although they may be compelled to do so soon—but they are obliged, owing to in creased postal charges in this and other countries, to raise the rates to subscribers in all places outside the South Pacific.

These new rates, which will operate from January 1, 1951, are— United Kingdom, British Common wealth, United States of America, and Foreign Countries —£1/10/0 Australian per annum (or $3.50 in USA currency).

In all South Pacific countries, which include all the Islands, and Australia and New Zealand, the subscription is un changed—namely 18/- Aust. p.a. In New Caledonia and French Oceania (where postal charges are higher), the rate is unchanged at 21/- Aust. p.a.
