4N address based on his experiences as a Resident Magistrate in Papua before World War II was given to members of the Pacific Islands Society, at their May meeting, by Mr. Alec Rentoul, who retired some years ago from the Papuan Public Service. The address contained many amusing anecdotes, and some valuable reflections on the problem of governing the New Guinea natives; and It will be published, later, in this journal.
The next meeting of the Society—at which all Islands visitors are welcome— will be held in History House, 8 Young Street, Sydney, on Wednesday evening, June 27.
