Further Changes May Await the Result of General Election

THE retirement of Mr. Spender from the Australian Parliament and Depart ment of External Territories is discussed in our principal article.

He will remain in office until late in April—maybe until the Australian general election. There is no indication of who his successor will be.

There have been no official announce ments concerning the appointment of deputy-administrators, or the creation of a Legislative Council, or the re-organisa tion of the Production Control Board, or any of the various other matters affecting P-NG administration which have been hanging fire.

Such matters now will probably all await the result of the Australian general election, and the advent of a new Minister.
